Befriending Services
If you or someone you know is isolated or unable to get out and about independently, our befriending services are here to help. To request this service, please telephone the shop on 01243 962008 or get in touch via our contact page.
Good Morning Calls
A simple phone call can make a big difference.
For people who live alone, are isolated, or simply enjoy having a friendly voice to speak to each morning, the Good Morning Call Service provides regular telephone contact and reassurance for people living in Selsey, the Witterings and surrounding villages.
Could you or someone you know benefit? The Good Morning Call Service may be suitable for someone who:
- Would benefit from the reassurance of a daily check-in
- Lives alone
- Has limited social contact
- Is unable to get out and about easily
- Would appreciate a regular friendly conversation
Face to Face Befriending
In person companionship
Our Face-to-Face Befrienders offer friendly, regular visits from one of our trained volunteers to people in the local community who may be unable to get out and about easily. Whether it’s a cup of tea and a chat, sharing a hobby, looking through old photographs or simply having someone to talk to, our volunteers are there to provide companionship and a listening ear.
We can also help people take those first steps back into the community. If you would like to attend a local group or activity but feel nervous about going on your own, a volunteer can accompany you for the first few visits, helping you feel more comfortable and confident.
