Could you become an Age UK Hull & East Yorkshire Telephone Befriender?
Do you have an hour a week to spare to speak to someone who is lonely and isolated?
Age UK are looking for friendly, caring individuals to telephone befriend lonely older people. These calls make a real difference for someone who may not have much company from day to day. Loneliness among older people is becoming a greater issue. The befriending service provides regular, friendly phone calls to help reduce feelings of isolation and rebuild confidence. The telephone calls also allow the older person to enjoy general conversation on subjects that interest them and help prevent the feelings of loneliness.
