Befriender Volunteer Opportunity in Hull
We are looking for a Befriender Volunteer to provide meaningful companionship at our extra care service in Hull.

We're seeking someone who is warm, sociable, and a great listener. As a Befriender, you'll spend time with one of the people we support, offering friendly conversation and companionship through regular meet-ups. You may also spend time with the person we support in the local community, visiting cafes, local services such as the library or attending events and activities. If this sounds like something you would enjoy and you can commit a few hours on a regular basis, we'd be delighted to hear from you!
