Good Neighbours Service
About Kent Coast Volunteering
We offer a befriending service to lonely and isolated older people, some of whom have no family, friends and spend every day housebound. Our volunteers are invaluable in helping to make someone’s day/week better.
We are looking for befrienders in Dover/Deal, Folkestone/Hythe and all Thanet areas. You could make the difference to someone by sparing an hour a week for a visit and a chat and cuppa. Maybe even a walk or a lunch out somewhere.
Please get in touch to find out more, thank you.
England, CT14 6AG
