Telephone befriending is a streamlined version of our current befriending service. We are primarily reaching out to people we know are in high risk and offering them a regular telephone contact service. Additionally, we will offer the service to people calling the 0800 friendship line who request regular contact rather than the one off ad hoc chat which that service is designed to provide. Initially, we will ask you to call the beneficiary and introduce yourself and the Association’s telephone befriending service. If they are interested, you will remain their befriender for the duration of the project (keeping in touch with them once a week) and report to us on a regular basis. We will provide a short bespoke online training course and a tailored guide before you start making calls. Not having someone to talk to during these challenging times can be lonely, particularly if the person is used to social activities and spending time with others. A friendly, 30-minute chat that you will offer will make all the difference.

The Retired and Senior Volunteer Programme (RSVP) encourages and assists older people to use their skills and experiences to volunteer and keep active in retirement. Across the region we have hundreds of older people volunteering in their communities including in local NHS hospitals, primary schools, our Healthy Walking Group and charitable knitting groups. Volunteering can have a huge impact on the people we support, the local community and volunteers themselves. People who volunteer are less likely to become socially isolated and experience fewer health problems, while socialising more and having fun in their spare time. RSVP Forth Valley are currently recruiting for new Volunteer Walk Leaders. We hope to have new Walk Leaders in place for when the Walking Group resumes after the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, or sometime in the Autumn. The Volunteer role includes leading walks around the beautiful Forth Valley. You will receive full training to carry out this role.
