Charity needs friends
From the County Press
The local branch of Age Concern is looking for more friends.
The charity is calling for volunteers to sign up and join its befriender service, which gives vulnerable and lonely older people vital and welcome company.
Volunteers will be asked to visit their new friend for a chat and cup of tea, or take them out for a change of scenery. All volunteer befrienders will be trained and supported by Age Concern IW and will be invited to meet for a monthly coffee morning.
Opinion:
The elderly are amongst the most vulnerable to climate change health risks. They are also the most overlooked resource of crisis experience we have! We have much to learn from them about surviving Peak Oil.
Action:
Anyone interested can contact Gwen Glover, Alan Wiles or Gina Williams on 525282, or email gwen.glover@aciw.org.uk.
