Christmas Telephone Companion (December)

Join Re-Engage’s Christmas Call Companion community to spread joy to lonely older people this winter.

Are you kind, empathetic and ready to help out with just 1 phone call a week?

Be a part of their growing community to support older people this Christmas. This is a short term, flexible, supported volunteering role that can be carried out from anywhere that has a telephone. You choose your schedule, and this is great to fit around full time employment, education and, caring responsibilities. You will be matched with an older person and, over the festive period, you'll help make their season just a little bit brighter with your weekly telephone conversations with them. And maybe make a new friendship along the way!


By making one phone call a week in December, you’ll be helping reduce loneliness and isolation in someone over this Christmas period. Make the call to make a difference.
