Blether Buddies are volunteers who connect with an older person once a week or fortnightly to help reduce loneliness and social isolation.

As a befriender, you could be having a friendly chat in our client's home or going out with them in their local community, for a coffee, a walk, or visiting places of interest; simple activities that many of us take for granted.

Your gift of time and companionship will give them and you, something to look forward to.

We provide training before you start and support once you are matched with a client.
