Volunteer Befrienders Needed!

Make a Difference in Someone's Day – And Yours!

Are you looking for a meaningful way to connect with others and brighten someone's day? Join us as a Volunteer Befriender! Our residents eagerly look forward to these special moments, and we have opportunities for one-on-one and group settings. Whether it's playing a friendly game of Scrabble, accompanying a resident to a GP appointment, sharing a coffee morning, or leading a sing-along around the piano, each connection truly makes an impact.

As a Befriender, you'll bring joy, comfort, and companionship to our residents, and in return, you'll gain the rewarding experience of knowing you've made a difference.

No experience is necessary – just bring your kindness, patience, and willingness to share a few hours of your time. Volunteering is a powerful way to give back and enrich your own life.

Ready to start your journey? Join us and create moments that matter.
