Remote Telephone Befriender

Remote Telephone Befriender

What You'll Do: 

Befriending is a weekly voluntary role, where a volunteer makes a telephone call to someone who has a neurological condition and/or supports someone with one. The aim is to be a calm, non-judgemental ear, and bring a bit of kindness and empathy their way. We ask that volunteers take on two befriendees where possible, so it would require 2 x 30-minute conversations each week. We do require a DBS enhanced and we can sort that out with volunteers unless they are on the DBS update service.
