  • Support for widows, single mothers, vulnerable families, and community members experiencing loneliness or hardship

Our volunteers help bring encouragement, kindness, companionship, and practical support to those who may feel isolated or overwhelmed.

Volunteer roles may include:

  • Short home visits for conversation and companionship
  • Regular wellbeing check-ins by phone
  • Gardening and outdoor community activities
  • Community outreach and support events
  • Helping individuals feel connected and valued

No experience is required. We welcome anyone with a compassionate heart, good listening skills, and a desire to make a positive difference in the community.

We understand that availability varies, and flexible volunteering opportunities are available.

Together, we can help reduce loneliness, build stronger community connections, and bring hope to those who need support.

All volunteers will receive a short induction and basic training relevant to the support activities they will be involved in, including wellbeing support, buddy calls, compassionate visits, safeguarding awareness, and community engagement.

Volunteers undertaking home visits or direct support must have a valid DBS check to ensure the safety and protection of vulnerable individuals.

We aim to provide a supportive, safe, and welcoming environment for all volunteers and community members.
