Combatting loneliness this Christmas
Royal Voluntary Service has teamed up with Christmas Together to encourage people to reach out and offer support to those who may be feeling cut off, anxious or isolated this Christmas and during the winter.
The NHS Volunteer Responders programme is recruiting new volunteers across England willing to offer support to someone who needs it this Christmas and during the coming months. You could pop round with their essential shopping - or festive treats – and have a door-step natter (you’ll be matched to someone nearby), or you could have a friendly chat over the phone.
