Befriending involves visiting people who are housebound or lonely.  A volunteer will call once or twice a week for a chat or maybe to go out for a walk.  

Some volunteers are able to take people out in a wheelchair to doctors, shops or even on a full day coach trip.

This service is for essential medical appointments, and is carried out by volunteer drivers using their own cars.

Grass cutting, hedge trimming, pruning and weeding, equipment is normally provided by the client.

Volunteers will carry out most small DIY jobs within the home, but cannot tackle jobs which involve gas, water, electrical work or climbing high ladders.
