Could you join our Team and complete a Wokingham Walk for Friendship?
We're hoping to raise £500 to enable us to recruit, train and support 10 new volunteers who will transform someone's life with friendship!
“My volunteer is a lifeline; her visits are the highlight of my week.”
Feelings of loneliness for some older people can be overwhelming. Feeling that you are unwanted, unnoticed and undervalued can put a huge strain on your mental and physical health. Nearly 20% of older people see family and friends less than once a week and for 11% it's less than once a month. With your support we can reach more older people in our community who are desperate to meet a friend.
