Home Befriender (Have a Chat with Teresa - Derry/Londonderry)

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

Our member Teresa lives in Derry/Londonderry with her family and dog and is looking for a friendly female volunteer who is available to pay her a visit each week on a Monday, Tuesday or a Thursday. Teresa would love the opportunity to have a regular visitor and to get to know someone over a cuppa. She enjoys a good chat and spending time with her family including nine grandchildren! She used to enjoy knitting but finds this difficult now because of her sight loss.

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 Access NI check.
