What does this service offer me?
If you have a life-limiting
illness and feel isolated from friends and family, a volunteer will visit you and provide companionship. They can do simple
tasks, such as making a cup of tea, or if you are able to go out, they could take you shopping. If your carer would like to
have a couple of hours out of the house on their own, a volunteer can stay with you giving your carer a break and making sure
that you are ok.
Visits might be provided
on a ‘one-off’ or regular basis depending on what you need.
