B:Friend pairs volunteer befrienders with socially isolated older neighbours to pop-in, once-a-week, for a cuppa and a chat. Sometimes they can be the only person that older neighbour will see or speak to for days or weeks at a time. Our aim is to reduce loneliness through befriending, and group Social Clubs each week, and the long-term implications of isolation including dementia, depression and A&E admissions.
