I did a lovely befriending match in July, where the volunteer and older person drink tea and chat about their shared interests of hiking and travelling.

This older person is really enjoying being able to reminisce on her past adventures as she has mild dementia, and she said she looks forward to the visit every week which breaks up the long evenings alone.

It is the volunteer’s first match also and after initially feeling nervous, she is feeling very reassured that the visits are going so well.
