Connect-2
Life Church Bollington
Connecting people together
Improving quality of life through relationship
Connect-2 is a befriending service mainly aimed at those over 60 who would appreciate some extra friendship and support.
We match volunteers with older people who would like to see a friendly face on a regular basis for around an hour a week for some social time. We would also try and help by taking them if possible to our Life Church Coffee and connect event held in our Church building on a monday morning.
Many elderly people can find themselves alone after a partner passes away or are isolated due to illness or disability. As a result, they do not see people often or have strong social connections and this can affect their physical and mental health significantly.
This is where Connect-2 can help. Our trained volunteer befrienders can visit 1-2 hours weekly/fortnightly for coffee and a chat, a short outing to the park, local activity or Life Church Coffee morning.
If you know someone who would benefit from a regular visit or perhaps you would like to use our service yourself or just need more information, please call 01625 578100 or email connect-2@bollington.org.uk
