All it takes is an hour every week to help someone feel less alone.
Community volunteers (Mountbatten Neighbours) help to tackle loneliness by visiting a person in their local area once a week, offering support, friendship and a listening ear.
There are hundreds of people across our Hampshire communities who are at risk of becoming lonely and isolated through life-limiting illness, frailty or old age. If you believe nobody should have to feel alone, this is the role for you.
