Befriending service - face to face and telephone

Face to face befriending is one of our most popular services, befriending is exactly what it sounds like – getting people together to make friends. Many older people living in their own homes can become isolated and lonely, but with a regular weekly visit - perhaps to read the paper to a visually impaired person, or to play cards or accompany a member with their grocery shop - MHA Communities can help stop this from happening. Our trained volunteer befrienders are matched with scheme members based on their interests and personalities by their local scheme manager.
