Home Befriender (Get out and about with William - Belfast)

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

Our member William lives with his family and dog in Belfast. He is looking for a friendly volunteer who is available to pay him a visit each week either on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday for a chat over a coffee and in time to get out for a short walk. Due to his sight and hearing loss, William can sometimes 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.
