WHAT WE DO
SERVICES WE OFFER
We provide friendly volunteer support for isolated older people
aged 60+.
We cover a small geographical area which is the southerly
portion of the borough of Southwark, south London.
Our volunteers and services enable people to stay in their own
homes, in conjunction with statutory services.
The services we are able to provide cover 4 broad areas: -
• One-to one befriending
A volunteer would visit someone regularly in their own home, for
either just a chat, or around a specific task, such as reading
to a blind person.
• Activity Groups
We run a selection of groups in the local area, these include
coffee mornings, chair-based exercise, reading, computers,
bridge etc. We are able to assist with transport for some
groups.
• Hospital visiting
We have a regular volunteer who visits all of our service users
in Kings College Hospital.
• Practical tasks
We can offer one-off practical help around the home. Our
volunteers do a range of tasks such as help with putting up
shelves, changing light bulbs, gardening and occasional transport
help.
