Helping older people in Gloucestershire feel more independent, secure and have a better quality of life.

‘Friends For You’

As you may recall, I recently wrote about the new volunteer befriending service, ‘Friends For You’.

‘Friends For You’ operates countywide, ensuring that everyone has access to a volunteer visitor wherever they live.  This is good news, as we all know how important it is to have regular companionship in our lives.  A reliable, local volunteer, visiting regularly, has a really positive impact on how we feel, and this helps enhance our quality of life and sense of community.  

If you feel this service might be of interest to you, please give me a call (in complete confidence).

In order for the service to operate successfully we do need volunteers, so if you feel this is something you could offer, please get in touch with Sue Black (project co-ordinator)  – naturally she will be delighted to hear from you!

If you don’t have the available time to make a commitment of regular visits, perhaps you may have the time to make one-off visits to our clients?  We would still love to hear from you so please contact

        Sue Colquhoun on 07810 630145

Or    Sue Black 07810 630167 / 01452 528491  or  email    sue.friendsforyou@grcc.org.uk
