Our telephone befriending service

Farleigh Helpers is a friendly volunteer befriending service offering emotional and practical support to people in the community who may be living with a life-limiting illness, feeling lonely, isolated, or bereaved.

Our Farleigh Helpers are trained volunteers who provide regular telephone or online support, offering a listening ear, companionship, and reassurance.

This is a flexible service designed to help people feel more connected and supported in their everyday lives.
