Connecting with your community is a befriending project, focusing on reducing loneliness and isolation within the Torridge area. All of our befrienders are volunteers.
Clients can be offered the choice of Face-to-Face Visits or Telephone calls, please bear in mind we have a limited number of befriending volunteers, and each referral will be assessed and prioritised on the individual's needs. We cannot guarantee that each referral will have a befriending volunteer matched to them. We can also support clients in accessing local groups and services appropriate to their needs and abilities.
A quote from one of our new CWYC Volunteers – “I thought I was going to like the project and befriending, but I love it! It’s so interesting.”
A quote from a CWYC client – “It makes all the difference! Having a lovely chat. My volunteer is such a lovely lady. We have so much to talk about and I really look forward to her coming each week.”
Once Referral form is completed please email - [email protected]
