Cornhill Community Companions

We have a simple mission to help reduce loneliness for older people in our community. Friendship is one of the most important things in life, nothing can turn your day around like a smile from a friendly face, a heartfelt hug or even a lovely chat over a cup of tea! Our volunteers visit clients usually in their home for an hour per week and for some of our clients this is their only social contact. We also lend a helping hand to those who have taken on the role of caring for a loved one and assist with the small ad hoc tasks that can seem so hard when you are on your own from helping around the garden to offering support when returning home after a stay in hospital.
