New Service for older people seeks volunteers
The Good Morning Service County Donegal is launching a new project
the 'Friendly Face Befriending Scheme', covering the Inishowen
Primary care area. This new addition is a natural progression for
the organisation and will supplement the existing and very
successful telephone contact service. It will encompass of all the
traditional high standards and qualities associated with The Good
Morning Service.
The Friendly Face Befriending Scheme will be aimed at further
reducing the social isolation of people over the age of 60yrs in the
Inishowen community through the matching of a volunteer befriender
with an individual who may feel socially isolated or vulnerable.
Volunteers will participate in comprehensive training and have Garda
Clearance before they are matched with a befriendee.
The Befriendee can look forward to having a visit from their
befriender each week.
The Befriending scheme will take referrals from health care
professionals or community organisations and from family and
friends; the befriendee will have to complete a short application
form and will be visited by the Friendly Face Befriending Scheme
Project Organiser in their home at an agreed time.
We are urgently seeking volunteers from all over Inishowen so if you
have a few hours to spare each week we would be very happy to hear
from you.
If you are interested in either using the service or becoming a
Volunteer Befriender or just require more information contact Liam
Hargan, Project Organiser on 07493 21598 or email:
