Befriending
In 2003 volunteers started running a befriending project with an aim to alleviate loneliness and social isolation to housebound older adults living alone in the community. The project is still running and is entirely dependent on it’s volunteers.
Tapestry offers face-to-face befriending and telephone befriending. Our face-to-face befriending volunteers visit housebound isolated older people for a chat and our telephone befriending volunteers call for a chat at an agreed day and time, usually once a week.
Each person is matched with a volunteer who has a similar outlook on life and common interests to provide companionship to help increase confidence, independence and to keep connected to the local community.
