Check in and Chat is a telephone befriending service and is a positive step to engage with people who may have little or no contact with others. Lack of social contact may lead to issues with confidence, self-esteem, and loneliness or increase anxiety levels. A call can make all the difference to someone who is feeling alone.
We are looking for volunteers to have friendly and informal chats on a regular basis to help reduce the feeling of isolation. They will generally be someone that is housebound, or does not have the confidence to get out and about.
The call times can be flexible to suit the time you have available to give.
If you are interested please complete the application form, and do feel free to ring Sheridan for a chat if you would like to know more on 07852 172998.
