Good Companions
     
 

Chester Good Companions are a group of volunteers who offer friendship and companionship to older people living in the Chester area.

Some older people who live alone in the community can be isolated and often housebound because of reduced mobility, illness or bereavement. They may have no family or close friends or their family may live away.

A friendly face or a listening ear can make a positive difference to older people living in the community.

     
The scheme has been running in Chester since 1987 and aims for the volunteer to get as much out of the experience as the older person they befriend. The scheme encourages those activities which friends would normally offer each other.

Men and women of all ages from the local community who wish to offer friendship and support to an older person join our group
