It’s all change for the Befriending team at Engage with Age. We say thank you to Eileen McQuillan who covered Sarah’s maternity leave, and wish Hannah Lockhart good luck as she goes for her maternity leave. It’s a welcome back to Sarah Gordon who returns, and welcome to Sharyn Ruseckas who is covering Hannah’s maternity leave.
The Befriending Officer role is job shared between Sarah and Sharyn, and they can be reached telephone 07423 702721 or email befriending@engagewithage.org.uk
Engage with Age can accept referrals of individual older people aged 50+ who are at risk of loneliness and social isolation, inviting them to participate in group activities. Engage with Age offers one-to-one telephone befriending support for individual older people but does not currently provide in person visits to individual older people. To make a referral please complete the on-line Referral Form and submit or alternatively please print off a copy of the PDF Referral Form and send it to us. See also the Referral Criteria for details of who can be referred.
