Community Companions

Royal Voluntary Service is developing a volunteer-led initiative across North Somerset to help reduce isolation and loneliness among older people. The primary focus of the project - known as Community Companions -  is to recruit and train small teams of volunteers to provide companion support to the most isolated people within their communities. The more local the focus, the better. Royal Voluntary Service provides all the background support, safeguarding, insurance and training services for volunteers to facilitate such activities safely.
