Friends Exchange Service
Organisations can refer to this service via MARS
Friends Exchange is an initiative designed to combat loneliness and isolation among older people in South Lakeland.
Our trained Friends Exchange volunteers provide regular home visits or weekly phone calls to older people who cannot leave their home often to socialise, and the Community Link volunteers work with older people who may have experienced a life change which left them unable to leave the home, but are now in a position to do so, in order to increase their confidence in attending events and clubs, or even just getting out of the house socially.
Specialist volunteers may also offer a series of one-to-one IT sessions to clients in their own homes.
Adults, Older Adults (65+)
