Are you passionate about Farming and Rural Life?

New Initiative from The Farming Life Centre

Their free befriending service aims to reduce the feelings of loneliness and isolation which can result from the challenges of farming and living in rural areas. Their aim is to make a positive difference to people's lives.

If you, or someone you know, is in need of a little extra help, they offer friendship and support. They'll introduce you to a volunteer with similar interests, then arrange for them to visit you regularly on a one-to-one basis. You might just enjoy a chat and a cup of tea, or perhaps go to a local event or go on a short trip together, building a lasting friendship. Their local knowledge will help to keep you engaged with the community around you.

The Farming Life Centre is looking for volunteers to provide companionship and friendship on a regular basis. Even one hour every fortnight will make a positive difference to someone in your community.

They will provide training and ongoing support. Their coordinator will be available to answer any queries you might have. Reasonable expenses for travel will be paid.

To talk to them about the service, or volunteering, please call/text on 07777 168 857 or email donna@thefarminglifecentre.org.uk
