Community Helpers Needed
Can you spare an hour or two a week to have a cuppa and a chat to support someone in your local community?
If the answer is YES then WE NEED YOU!
We are looking for volunteers to be matched to a vulnerable person in their local community to visit them at home for a cup of tea and a chat to help reduce loneliness and offer support.
These individuals will have been recently discharged from hospital and need a friendly face to speak to whilst they recover.
Full training is provided and all mileage expenses are paid at 45p a mile.
We would love to hear from you!
