During these challenging times we need volunteers more than ever, to support isolated people in our community to feel socially connected again. If you’re a ‘people person’ and would like to make a difference to someone’s life, we would love to hear from you!

Do you find the weekend a bit of a challenge? Do you find Friday evening until Monday morning a marathon effort? Come along and meet fellow “weekend warriors” and together we can inspire and support one another with loads of fun, laughter and listening ears, to share our experiences and talk about what is happening in our lives and the world around us!
