Our befriending service, which is staffed wholly by volunteers, helps to alleviate social exclusion for visually impaired people who may be feeling isolated in their own home. Befriending volunteers visit a client in their home to offer support, companionship or practical assistance, which can include reading and dealing with personal correspondence. Most people, however, are very happy with a cup of tea and a chat or even going for a short walk to their local shops or park.
