Middlesbrough and Stockton Mind - Volunteer Telephone Befriender
We offer free telephone befriending for people over 50 in Middlesbrough so they can enjoy chatting with someone over the phone from the comfort of their home. We match volunteers with older people based on their hobbies and interests so they can have a friendly, weekly chat. People who receive the support tell us the chats are the highlight of their week. If you'd like to make a difference to an older person's life, this could be the right opportunity for you.
