What We’re Here For
- Bring company and kindness to others.
- Help people feel more connected in their community.
- Encourage small, caring acts that make a difference.
- Remember: you’re a companion and supporter, not a fixer or expert.
You might:
- Listen and chat – making space for someone to share.
- Spend time – sit together, check in, or simply be present.
- Offer comfort or reassurance – your calm and kindness matter.
- Help people feel less alone – your presence makes a difference.
Respecting Boundaries & Finding Support
- Respect personal boundaries – yours and others.
- Keep shared stories private and confidential.
- Trust your instincts – it’s okay to say no if something feels beyond your role.
- You’re never on your own: support and guidance are always available.
Caring for Yourself, Too
- Take breaks when you need them.
- Share reflections or concerns with your coordinator.
- Be gentle with yourself – caring starts with self-kindness.
A full volunteer guide and induction will be available when you join.Â
