Active Friends
Sometimes it can be difficult to get back into the swing of life if you have not been going out much, or have had a set-back such as losing a partner.

Our volunteer 'Active Friends' help senior citizens who would like to get out more and join a group activity but lack the confidence to do so by themselves. For some people, small steps will be required to reach the ultimate goal of integrating with a group, and this may include going out for small walks for those who have been housebound for an extended period of time. We match up Active Friends by their interests and personality types to ensure that they enjoy each others' company and feel comfortable together.
