Home Visiting Befriender - Purfleet

The Age Well East home visiting befriending service offers a Befriender to regularly visit a lonely and isolated client in their home for conversation & company. The volunteer will be matched with the same client to encourage a social connection.

 

Age Well East provides full training and a nominated Friendship Coordinator to support them throughout their volunteering journey. Training will include Safeguarding, Lone Worker and GDPR, and certificates will be issued on completion.
