Do you fancy doing something to help in the community?
Rethink Good Companions is a befriending service which covers South Essex and has over 140 volunteers. However, the Basildon area is in great need of more volunteers. Could you be one? Would you be prepared to befriend someone?
Rethink Good Companions ask for one or two hours per week or fortnight to simply be a friend to someone. This could involve meeting for a chat over coffee, sharing a hobby or going for a walk.
The service is now 10 years old and volunteers enjoy the new social life they gain whilst helping those affected by severe mental illness recover a better quality of life.
A new course of training starts in Pitsea on Wednesday evenings through June - to find out more phone Alison on 01702 343222.
