Leathes Prior Solicitors and Telephone Befriending

Leathes Prior Solicitors generously supported our Telephone Befriending Service, making a significant impact on reducing our waiting list and helping more people aged 50+ feel connected. A group of their team volunteered their time to engage in regular, friendly conversations with our clients who were experiencing loneliness and social isolation. Our Befriending Coordinator provided comprehensive training sessions, including an "active listening skills" workshop, to ensure the volunteers felt confident and equipped to spark meaningful conversations. This partnership demonstrates the power of corporate volunteering to address social isolation and improve the well-being of older people in our community.
