CarelinK Befriending Scheme (360G-tnlcomfund-0031045705)

The project will provide a one-to-one befriending support, for older people who are experiencing loneliness and social isolation. Each older person will be introduced to a trained volunteer who will visit them for an hour or two each week to provide companionship and social support. Lunch/friendship sessions will also be offered once a month to provide service users with social opportunity – enabling them meet each other and increase their support networks by developing new friendships.
