Volunteer with the Telephone Friendship Service

Gloucestershire

Just 30 minutes of your time a week could make a massive difference to an older person's life. If you're empathetic and good at talking on the phone, you could be a Telephone Friendship Service volunteer.

What is the Telephone Friendship Service?

As people get older, some may find they spend more time on their own. This can sometimes feel lonely, boring or make people miss friends or family. We offer free telephone friendship services for older people over 60 so they can enjoy chatting with someone over the phone at a regular time once a week, all from the comfort of their home. For many older people these chats are the highlight of their week.

If you're over 18 and can give 30 minutes of your time every week to chat with an older person, volunteering with the Telephone Friendship Service could be right for you.
