“Telephone Support calls gave me something to look forward to”

"Life was miserable before I started getting the calls from Volunteer Responders... Since using the service, I've been filled with the confidence to go out there and meet new people, and now I've got a whole group of friends."

Lesley, Telephone Support service user

Lesley lives with her son at her home in Essex. Prior to receiving support, Lesley found it hard to make friends. She believes receiving Companionship Calls gave her the confidence to go out and form new relationships.

There are plenty of people waiting to receive calls from a Volunteer Responder. Please go to the Activities tab on the GoodSAM Responder app to accept a task today.
