Role Description

Purpose/Summary of Role:

To provide companionship support to anyone living in Conwy in the prevention of loneliness and isolation. There are a number of reasons people in the local community become isolated by having little or no contact with people and over time this can have a detrimental effect on a person’s health and wellbeing. Having a regular visitor to get out and about, chat with and just having someone to listen can make a real difference.
