Worthing charity seeks volunteer befrienders to help combat loneliness

Worthing’s leading social care charity, Guild Care, is inviting local residents to step forward to join their team of volunteer befrienders who help combat loneliness in the community. The charity is looking for friendly people who can spare a little time each week to provide companionship, whether through a friendly chat over a cup of tea, playing a board game, or simply being there to listen.

There are currently 11 shared apartments with 20 seniors. The houses have rules for meals and cleaning. The Porto City Council project has the immediate support of parish councils and social solidarity institutions.
