Details of Role:

WECIL’s Check in and Chat Service was initially set up in October 2020 for members of our community in response to the Covid-19 crisis. We have recently been successful in securing funding to extend the service for an additional 2 years, enabling “befriending” to become a core WECIL service. Check in and Chat supports disabled adults or those with long term health conditions who are feeling isolated and would like someone to talk to. Volunteers make weekly calls to a member of our community for 12 weeks, making friendly conversation, lending a supportive ear and signposting to services. https://wecil.co.uk/community/adult-befriending/
