Here’s what some of our volunteers have to say!
You get a sense of doing something when everything else is out of control. I’ve been disappointed that the level of need is so high, and our government hasn’t met that need.
– Liam
I really enjoy hearing the client’s mood lift throughout the befriending call.
– Joss has been volunteering as a befriender, making weekly phone calls to elders to help them cope with isolation and loneliness
We’ve had a laugh and a joke and it’s a really nice atmosphere…I enjoy meeting new people, they are all so friendly, make you feel welcome. I’ve made a lot of new friends and really enjoy it.
– Sheila
