About Hope Community Project (Wolverhampton)

Together Here’ is a volunteer led project which will’welcome the stranger.’ Once per month, we will invite all new residents to the neighbourhood with a particular focus on residents from refugee and migrant communities. Our telephone befriending service aims to provide emotional support through a weekly conversation to help individuals achieve greater independence and self-confidence. Residents will be matched to a volunteer who will provide a weekly 20 30 minute phone call at a time agreed over six weeks (this can be extended if needed). Each befriending relationship is different, but the key aims include: making friendships and social connections with people from Wolverhampton; improving conversational English skills; building bridges into the local community and culture; increasing understanding of life in Wolverhampton and the UK; reducing isolation and lonelinessHOPE (Helping Older People Engage) is a befriending service befriending service which aims to creates amazing friendship built on trust and respect.
