❄️ Make a Difference This Autumn & Winter β„οΈπŸ‚

As the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, many older people across the Wakefield district can experience loneliness and isolation.

That's why Wakefield Wellbeing is proud to support Age UK Wakefield District's Volunteering and Befriending Service.

πŸ’™ Could you spare a little time to brighten someone's day?

As a volunteer befriender, you could:

βœ… Enjoy regular chats over the phone or in person
βœ… Help someone feel more connected to their community
βœ… Share interests, stories and companionship
βœ… Make a real difference to someone's wellbeing

Whether you have an hour a week or a little more time to give, your support could mean the world to someone this winter.
Volunteering is flexible, rewarding and a fantastic way to give back to your local community while improving your own wellbeing too.

🍁 This autumn, help turn loneliness into connection. Interested in becoming a volunteer or finding out more about the Befriending Service? Visit Age UK Wakefield District's website or contact their team today.

www.ageuk.org.uk/wakefielddistrict/our-services/befriending-f3a7b53a-8da0-ed11-9ac4-0003ff32eded/

πŸ‘‰ Take the first step and get involved today. Together, we can help make this winter warmer for everyone.
