There are many ways you can choose to befriend a client in your local community.
On your application form, you can pick which option you would prefer.
• Visit a client in their own home or call them for a catch-up.
• Visit a client in their own home and help read their post to them.
• Visit a client and help maintain their garden or pick up essential shopping items.
• Visit a client in a community location in Merton.
We require all volunteers to:
• Submit monthly feedback to keep us updated on your visits or phone calls. You can do this quickly
over a 10-minute phone call with your designated point of contact or through an online feedback form.
• Liaise with the Befriending Team by reporting problems and asking for support when needed.
• Follow our policies and procedures, attend relevant training sessions, and maintain appropriate
boundaries.
