NESHOMO MANCHESTER
Volunteer Befriender
Neshomo is looking for volunteers to provide companionship, support, encouragement and a listening ear to someone who is experiencing mental health difficulties. Volunteer befrienders meet for one hour a week, visiting clients at home on a prearranged day, time and duration. Volunteer befrienders provide companionship by listening, talking, going for walks and often help clients to engage in activities that encourage life skills, interests or hobbies.
Not sure which role suits you or need a little friendly help? Please contact our volunteer broker at volunteerbroker@jvn.org.uk for London or Rebecca at manchester@jvn.org.uk for Manchester.
