Additionally, we will provide you with any training you require to ensure you are confident and ready to befriend.

For this volunteer role, we are looking for an individual who has experience with or awareness of the friendship needs for a person living in **Later Years.**

The person who is lonely and in need of friendship also has an interest in watching football, dance and snooker on the television.
