To offer companionship to people who are unable to get out and may have few or no visitors. This could be short term support to a person or longer befriending role depending on each person.
We have a list of people that would like visits and their likes/interests, you would be matched up to suit your availability and interests. For example, we might have a gentleman interested in cars or a lady who wants someone to do jigsaws puzzles with.
