Aberdeen Linking Lives Befriending Service

About the project

Our model of operation has been running successfully since 2019. The core focus has traditionally been arranging for volunteers to visit older people (Link Friends) in their own homes for 1-2 hours, or call them on phone once a week. These visits often become a lifeline with many reporting that it has transformed their lives.
