BEFRIENDERS
JWBS volunteers offer a helping hand and compassionate friendship to lonely, sick, or housebound people, often providing the only social interaction these people have.
Spending an hour once a week having a chat, sharing a meal, enjoying a cup of coffee, reading a book, or simply listening has been found to be uplifting for so many who say they feel happier and less lonely because they have a regular visitor. Our volunteers tell us they too really benefit from this role, knowing they are making a difference
