Older People's Befriending & Development Worker - Project
Project overview
This group will use the funding to employ a Befriending/Development Worker to support older people in South West Edinburgh so that they can participate more with community life. The group aims for its work to be intergenerational and to address issues of isolation and loneliness through the promotion of positive contact between people from different generations. The Worker will be responsible for developing the core activities and managing a group of volunteer befrienders.
