Volunteer Befriender - Hoddesdon

Can you spare an hour a week to change an older person's life by visiting them? We are looking for friendly, caring volunteers who can visit our clients.

Your visit can really make a difference to someone's day who is feeling lonely and isolated, be it a cup of tea and a good natter or a short walk in the fresh air.

Reach Out allows you to contribute to your community by doing something rewarding, and many of our volunteers say how much the volunteering experience has benefitted them.

Reach Out is a project that provides companionship and practical support to older people who are medically vulnerable and at risk of hospital admission, or have recently been discharged from hospital. Reach Out can assist people by linking them up with a volunteer in their neighbourhood who can offer support to them in their own home - helping them to adjust to and recover from illness, whilst also reducing social isolation and loneliness.
