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.

You will be able to meet new people, learn new skills, watch things grow, sow seeds, plant and harvest, exercise in the fresh air and share stories over a cup of tea.
Most of the land isn't flat so please let us know if you have any physical conditions. Some parking is available and there are toilets and a shelter on site.
All you need to bring is some gloves, sturdy footwear and a smile (too corny? - no, perfect!). We will provide drinks and tools/equipment.
If anyone has any tools they would like to donate, we'd be very grateful. We also need garden chairs, tables, an umbrella (!!) and probably lots of things we haven't even thought about yet!

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.
