Help improve the quality of life for older people in our town

Age UK Reading has a Befriending service to offer contact, warmth, and access to a support network for the many people who experience chronic loneliness.

As a volunteer you will be providing a caring ear to those that need it every week, checking in on how they are doing and reporting back any concerns. Contact can be via the telephone or through visits to an older person’s home.

A perfect role for a volunteer that is a warm and caring person who has empathy with the clients and can chat on a diversity of topics. A flexible role that requires a lot of maturity and emotional robustness!

You can find further details of these and many more opportunities to volunteer via our website, www.rgneeds.me. Want to get in touch? Drop us an email at volunteering@rva.org.uk or call 01189 372 27
