Home Befriender (Pay a visit to Julie for a Chat - Derry/Londonderry)

Befriending is a great opportunity to give your time and commitment in making a real difference to someone's life.

Our member Julie lives with her family and Jack Russell dog in Derry/Londonderry. She is looking for a friendly volunteer who is available to pay her a visit each week either on a Tuesday or Thursday for a chat over a cuppa and in time to get out for a walk or a browse round the local shops.

Due to her sight and hearing loss, Julie can often feel a little lonely and would love the chance to have a regular visitor and someone to share stories with.

Ideally, you will be a driver with your own transport, with a genuine interest in other people. A good listener available to make a regular weekly visit.

Do you need experience or specialist skills?

No - simply a genuine desire to help and some spare time on a regular weekly basis. We will ensure you are supported throughout your journey with us, offering training and support at all times. We will also reimburse out of pocket expenses to you and pay for your DBS check.
