Befriending Volunteers Needed!

Our volunteers provide face to face/phone support to Harrow's lonely and elderly people caring for their loved ones, neighbours or relatives. For this they need to commit two hours a week for six months. After the interview, we provide training, vetting and placement. This is a rare chance to really make a difference  - nothing is more rewarding than giving a little of yourself.  Simply contact our befriending co-ordinator Kalpana Mehta on 07719 068413.

What skills do I need?

A caring, empathetic person

A kind listener

Patience

Able to remain focussed on the other person.

About Harrow Carers

Established in 1996, Harrow Carers is an independent charity and the primary support agency for carers in Harrow. We have created an extensive network of services to enhance the quality of life for carers of all ages. Our services are specifically tailored for unpaid carers in Harrow, who are providing unpaid care and support for a member of the family or friend who is ill, frail, disabled, disadvantaged, or struggling with drug or alcohol dependency. Our overarching goal is to enhance the well-being and resilience of carers from diverse backgrounds and age groups. We strive to enable them to continue offering support to their care without compromising their own health, social connections, and capacity to contribute to society.
