Befriending

What does it do?

Our befriending service provides friendship and support for older people in the community to ensure they do not become lonely or socially isolated.

Age UK Westminster can help you, or an isolated person you know, to find a friend who will come and visit once or twice a week. Perhaps for a chat and a cup of tea, or as company on a walk, or perhaps on an outing to the theatre. A helping hand or a listening ear can make a difference particularly for those that are housebound or have mobility difficulties.
