• We provide a professional befriending service to those who feel lonely or isolated. Perhaps someone has recently been bereaved, and in these situations, we can provide emotional support through listening.
• For those who may have a care package that is coming to an end, but still want someone to visit them on a regular basis, to prevent them from becoming lonely.
• We can help with dealing with correspondence on an ad hoc basis when neded.
• We aim to give the families of those we befriend peace of mind knowing that when they are at work, or on holiday that their loved ones are still having someone visiting them to monitor their health and well being.
• We also provide a respite sitting service to give families a break from caring, so that they can attend appointments themselves, or spend some quality time with family and friends, knowing that their loved one is being left with someone able to provide companionship.  We do not provide any personal care.  
• We can undertake respite sits for 2, 3 or 4 hours.  Please contact us for details of what we can provide during these times.
