Home visiting "befriending" for old people

Local volunteers be allocated an older person to befriend socially for home visits, chats and cups of tea.

Why the contribution is important

Old people may not have family living close by and often barely speak to anyone in the course of a day. Schemes often focus on providing practical services to older people - which of course is very important - but social support in the form of friendship and community is important too.
