Whether you’d like to speak to someone every week, or just want to talk when the need strikes, we’re here to help.
Face-to-face befriending
Befriending services are available at many local Age UKs. They will often involve a volunteer befriender visiting an older person in their home, perhaps for a cup of tea and a chat, or accompanying them to an activity (such as a trip to a cafe or the theatre). In some cases, a volunteer may accompany the older person to occasional hospital or doctor's appointments.

The Kickstart Scheme is a £2 billion government fund to create 6 month work placements aimed at those aged 16-24 who are claiming Universal Credit. If you’re employed on the Kickstart Scheme, you’ll receive the National Minimum Wage for 25 hours a week. However, some employers made choose to employ and pay you for more than 25 hours a week.
Kickstart Jobs won’t be available on the Find A Job service or on online job websites. To express an interest in getting a Kickstart Scheme job speak to your Work Coach. They’ll be aware of the kickstart job placements available in your area in the job sectors you’d like to work in.
