The Befriending Scheme | Age UK

[@fionasaunders-priem2916]

I became an Age UK befriender in April. This video sums up what I have found so far. It is a valuable, rewarding experience for the older person and the volunteer, which we look forward to each week. The Volunteer Co-ordinator is fully supportive and a delight to work with. If you have the opportunity, I recommend becoming a befriender.

AGE UK IS NOT WHAT YOU MIGHT THINK. THEY ABANDONED ME DUE TO THE FACT MY PHONE COULD RECORD THEM. BUT THEY SAY NOTHING ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT OR COMPANIES THAT DO THE SAME AND MORE. SHAME ON THE AGE UK. FOR NOT CARING. I HAVE JUST TURNED 77 LIVE ON MY OWN.

Think about the nuns and monks who have each other but not the outside world.
