BEFRIENDING AND CONNECTING
Our Care Home Connections project is now live, seeking to keep care home residents connected with their loved ones, using Alexa devices to combat many of the issues found with other methods of communication. We've got lots of devices ready to send, completely free, to care home residents across the country to help them stay connected with their loved ones, and all the resources to get started, including "How To" guides for relatives and care homes. Find out more here.

Carers TogetherThis is a new initiative to support informal carers - people looking after a loved one in an unpaid role. We're hosting weekly zoom meetings for carers, to connect them with others for mutual support and encouragement. They'll also be opportunities for prayer.

Having a volunteer has "tranformed my life!" |
Our trained volunteers offer friendship and support to elderly residents in care homes. Research suggests that older people in care homes are twice as likely to feel lonely as older people living in the community.
Spending time with residents might involve simply chatting, playing a board game, doing a crossword together, or going out for a walk. The list is endless - any activity that a resident enjoys that builds relationship. |
