Could you help support our members who would like to stay in contact over the telephone and receive a weekly call from a friendly volunteer?
Making a regular call to one of our members could make a huge difference right now. So many of them live alone and having the opportunity to speak to another person can be of huge benefit to their general wellbeing.
How can you help…
We are looking for confident, chatty and friendly individuals who can hold a good conversation with our member over the phone. You could be chatting about similar interests or learning about each others lives. Whatever the conversation you’ll be making a positive difference.
Something as simple as phone call could brighten up our members’ week!

You just need to be comfortable talking over the phone, engaging, able to instigate conversations and commit to regular weekly calls. Confidence in speaking with people of all ages and backgrounds.
