Join us as a telephone befriender

by Murray Hall Community Trust

The organisation offers telephone befriending to people who may be lonely and in need of support. Telephone befriending can provide invaluable support to people who are isolated and at home. The volunteer role can be delivered over the phone at agreed times. Murray Hall delivers the Lottery funded SPARCS service. The aim of the service is to reduce social isolation and loneliness in those over 65 years.
