Be a Friendship Caller Volunteer

Spring older lady

Help us to tackle loneliness

Having a conversation can have such a positive impact. That’s why we offer a Friendship Service which listens, provides friendship and offers support. We can talk about all sorts, from current interests, hobbies, personal and professional goals, top tier biscuits, time travel – the list is endless!

The role of a Friendship Caller Volunteer is to provide friendship, companionship and a listening ear to people who are 50 and over and would benefit from a weekly chat. We are looking for volunteers who can volunteer 2-3 hours of their time on the same day each week. This volunteer role is home based so there's no need to be located near our Edinburgh offices.

Please see the role description below for further details and requirements. Full training will be provided to all volunteers via Zoom.
