To chat with people who are feeling isolated and alone.
We are a registered charity (SC049674) who sit with people who are dying and alone in their final hours. We also support people who have families that need support and/or respite.
At this present time due to coronavirus we are offering telephone support to the above, but also to the wider community. The post can be at least one daily telephone call to be made to one person, less if needed. A few more people can be supported each day if you wish. We will carry out a brief interview through video call where we will also fill in an application and PVG form. We are looking for volunteers with experience of just listening/counselling and also volunteers for general chatting to break up people's days.
4 The Organisation is established for charitable purposes only, and in particular the relief of those in need by reason of ill-health. This will be achieved by: 4.1 - advancing compassionate care at the end of life. 4.2 - promoting change in the way we help members of the community at the end of life. 4.3 - relieving the loneliness and/or suffering of people at the end of life
Experience required: No Experience required but the ability to listening is helpful.
