Volunteer buddies needed

Are you looking for a rewarding volunteer opportunity that allows you to connect with others and make a positive impact in your community? Join us as a Buddy/Befriender for Carers at Gloucestershire Carers Hub!

**About the Role:**

As a Buddy, you will play a vital role in supporting unpaid carers by providing companionship and reducing feelings of isolation. Whether through phone conversations, meeting for a coffee, or enjoying a walk together, your presence can make a significant difference in their lives.

**What We Offer:**

- **Personalised Matching:** We strive to pair you with a carer who shares similar interests, ensuring a meaningful and enjoyable connection.

- **Flexible Frequency:** The frequency of your interactions can be tailored to fit both your schedule and the needs of the Carer, whether it’s weekly, monthly, or anything in between.

- **Supportive Environment:** You will receive ongoing support from our team to ensure a fulfilling experience for both you and the Carer.

**Who We’re Looking For:**

- Friendly individuals who are compassionate and empathetic

- Good listeners who enjoy engaging in conversation

- People who can commit to building a friendship over time

**How to Get Involved:**

If you’re ready to become a buddy to a carer and help combat isolation, we would love to hear from you! Your kindness and companionship could be the support they need.
