The Befriender Scheme is a locally based charity that provides one to one support for adults with learning disabilities so that they can safely take part in activities in the community.
We have an elderly lady in Newton Aycliffe who wants to meet someone similar who is willing to visit her for two hours on a Monday or Friday afternoon for local outings.
The befriender does not need to have any special qualifications or experience – just a caring and responsible outlook and a willingness to help.
However they need to have access to a reliable vehicle and a clean driving licence. The role is paid and expenses are reimbursed.
If you think you could help, The Befriender Scheme would love to hear from you as quickly as possible – telephone 01388 816784 (if you reach our answerphone please leave your name and number clearly and we will call you back) or email info@befriender.co.uk
