FRIENDLY VISITORS (FV)

Friendly Visitor volunteers will visit clients in their homes to provide some companionship for those who do not have any existing support. Depending on the client's interests, activities may include going for a walk, having tea, playing games, crafts or reading.

The frequency of visits is dependent on the volunteer's available time. If the client and volunteer do not build a rapport after a few visits, then arrangements can be made for a change.

The FV volunteer keeps SOS office regularly informed about the visits and any problems that may arise are followed up through SOS office.
