Our visiting will take the form of an Age Concern Durham County Volunteer (who has been police checked) visiting you for an hour per week purely for companionship. They will sit and have a cup of tea and a chat with you for this time.

• Caring and Supportive

If you think you would like to give an hour or two of your time per week to visit an older person (aged 50+) for companionship, assisting them to gain confidence and possibly introduce them to new groups. Please contact Mandy Humes on 0191 383 9750 or e-mail mandy.humes@ageconcern-durham.org.uk
