Community Visitors Scheme Volunteers
The Community Visitors Scheme (CVS) provides friendship and companionship by matching clients and volunteers with similar interests and ideas.
Do you have time to support an older person and enrich their quality of life through a friendly visit or phone call?
Visits include something both parties can enjoy such as having a cup of tea and a chat, listening to music, a walk or an outing
Interactions can be done face-to-face or via phone, video link or letter
Volunteer locally and have an impact nationally

Offer hope, and make new friends
Join the Lifeline community

- By sharing your time and interests with someone local, you can help to enhance their motivation, confidence, independence and wellbeing.
