FRIENDLY CALL SERVICE
The Friendly Call Service is offered by Friends of the Elderly Ireland to our older friends. It gives the opportunity to receive a regular telephone call from one of their trained part time volunteers. The aim of the call is to share conversation and offer support. The service is available to anyone who feels that they would benefit from having a regular chat with a caring and compassionate Friends of the Elderly Team Member.
Benefits of the Friendly Call Service
The service is confidential and free of charge.
The hours are flexible between 11.00am & 4.00pm, Mon- Fri.
It is a less direct form of contact for anyone uncomfortable with having a volunteer in their home.
Phone calls can act as an introduction to Friends of the Elderly as an organisation and older friends may in time wish to avail of some of the other programmes on offer.
The service is available nationwide.
