Does anyone know who operates the phone buddy scheme

janer1967

Hi all

I have heard about a volunteer scheme where people who are lonely can have a person allocated to them who they have regular contact with on the phone.

I cant remember who administrators are for this but I would be interested in becoming a volunteer for them

Does anyone know any info or who they are

@Ross_Scope have you any idea ?
