Would you like to help tackle loneliness, one conversation at a time?
Loneliness and isolation can have devastating effects on a person’s mental and physical health. We are a registered charity providing a pathway of support to alleviate the hurt and distress, and the impact on mental and physical health, caused by loneliness and social isolation.
Individual Support (Telephone) Volunteers ring Friends (which is what we call people who use our services) for social contact conversations and support. The calls will vary in length but are generally anywhere between 15 minutes and an hour – whatever works best for the Friend on any given day.
We ask volunteers to think of this as a longer term volunteer role due to the training and time we take in order to give our volunteers, and Friends, the very best service. You will also need to consider occasional time spent in training for your role and for continuous development.
For all our roles:
Enhanced DBS checks for working with vulnerable adults (formerly called criminal records bureau checks) which we will organise (no cost to this) and two references are required.
For any roles involving driving Archway Friends, we will need to see evidence of insurance and driving license as well as MOT and tax documents for the vehicle to be used.
We will happily cover out of pocket expenses (eg mileage or costs for coffee out with Archway Friend).
We provide training relevant to the roles as well as ongoing supervision, guidance and support for all volunteers.
We are a registered charity providing a pathway of support to alleviate the hurt and distress, caused by loneliness and social isolation.
