About the job
You will be matched, according to your interests, with one of our members. After an initial meeting to check compatibility you arrange when to visit them. Ideally this is once a week for an hour at a time for a cuppa and a chat. Some people play cards, do art together or visit a garden centre - you decide this together.
Some of our members are not very mobile, others are still able to go on short trips.
FRow Friends does a DBS check on all
befriending volunteers before a match is made.
