Sight Support Derbyshire: Befriender Volunteers
Sight Support Derbyshire
Sight Support Derbyshire are looking for Befriender volunteers. Please see the attachments for more information.
Join us by investing your time in doing something that makes a world of difference to people with sight loss.
Our Home Visiting Befriending Scheme was set up to help alleviate some of the isolation that may be caused by visual impairment, for example in a situation where someone has very little contact with friends and family.
A Befriender helps in many different ways such as visiting and having a cup of tea & a chat, agreed shopping or outings together, or more practical help with reading mail or the newspaper. Many of our volunteers and service users build up a very good, long term, trusting relationship.
What you will do: Provide a befriending relationship to visually impaired people. Support our service users with tasks such as reading, guided walking, shopping together, and general socialising especially to those who are isolated and have no company or support.
