Would you like to make a difference in the lives of local care home residents?
www.carehomefriends.org.uk
Research shows that care home residents are twice as likely to feel severely lonely as older people living at home. There are about 75 care homes on the Island and over 100 churches. Our vision is to see every care home adopted by a local church, with each church co-ordinating a Care Home Friends project, so that we can raise up an army of trained volunteers to befriend and support care home residents.
All it needs is one person in each church with a heart for older people who can recruit and co-ordinate two or three volunteers. Together we can make an enormous difference in the lives of some of the oldest and frailest members of our community.
