Telephone Befriender Course
Parental loneliness has dramatically increased during the pandemic as parents have been cut off from friends and family. A weekly phone call could make a world of difference to parents. 97% of the families we supported last year said they felt less isolated after receiving support from one of our volunteers.
Can you spare 30 minutes a week to help? If so sign up to our telephone befriender course taking place during June/July and running for 5 consecutive weeks.
