Each week our team of trained volunteers ring our participants to offer support and friendship.
We keep notes of all our calls, and all information is handled securely and confidentially.
With the consent of participants we can signpost to other appropriate agencies.
We are always open to receive new referrals for our Telephone Support Network.
Are you you a good listener?
Do you have a bit of spare time?
Would you like to help support people who feel isolated?
We are looking for some new volunteers to join our dedicated team.
We need people who can offer a couple of hours, weekly or monthly, to phone our participants. You will be part of a supportive network of telephoners, making calls from our base at Hornsea United Reformed Church on New Road.
The Living Well Project has made a real difference to the lives of over 100 people since it began in 2013. You can be part of the next stage of our journey.
