| Rural Bassetlaw Befriending Scheme | |
|
We support older people in rural east Bassetlaw who might be experiencing loneliness and isolation through family circumstances or rural location, by offering a volunteer befriending service.
Our volunteers can visit people in their own homes, accompany people shopping, or take people on social outings. They can offer companionship and a listening ear, provide information and support and help to keep people informed about community life.
We set up and help to develop group activity for older people and are in touch with friendship groups and activity groups in a number of villages. Groups can provide an opportunity to meet new people, make new friends, revisit a past hobby or learn new skills.
We support people over 50 throughout the district to become more physically active through ACTIVITY FRIENDS. These are volunteers who offer one to one encouragement or support group activities such as walking, exercise and line dancing.
