Did you know that half a million older people go at least five or six days a week without seeing or speaking to anyone at all?

But loneliness can affect people of any age. In fact, 16-29-year-olds are twice as likely as those over 70 to experience loneliness.

Could you offer companionship to those most in need in our communities? We are looking to recruit new befriending volunteers who are able and willing to support and spend time with lonely, vulnerable and isolated residents.

Our Befriending Co-ordinator, Emma, will be at Knott End Library on Thursday 12 June from 10.30am to 12.30pm. Feel free to come along, have a chat and learn more about becoming a befriending volunteer in Wyre. Let’s end loneliness together,
