Join Us for a Cup of Tea and a Chat
It’s Befriending Week from 1st November, and we extend an open invitation to anyone who would like to come in for a cup of tea and friendly conversation.
For older people living alone, having someone to talk to is essential. Our befriending team is here to listen and discuss what’s happening in the world outside.
Phone Support for Those Unable to Visit
For those who cannot physically visit us, we provide phone support. It’s crucial that they know they have someone to talk to.
Many people have distant family and friends, so our availability by phone is vital. Even a brief conversation can brighten someone’s day.
The Impact of Befriending
Befriending has a positive impact on individuals and their families, fostering a sense of community.
Conversations boost confidence and encourage participation in community activities and social gatherings. It can make a big difference to a person’s day to talk to someone for even if it is just for a few minutes
Friendships form, contributing to growth in mental and physical well-being.
Reaching Out to potential Befrienders
If you know someone living alone, a simple knock on their door can make a difference. Let them know you’re there.
Befriending matters, and this week, we explore its significance for our clients and community.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to learn more.
