Having signed up as a voluntary wellbeing telephone befriender with Slough CVS I finally received the details of the two people who I had been allocated. On Saturday morning I made my introductory calls, checked they had enough food and medication for the week, asked how they were feeling, listened and arranged my next calls for Thursday evening which will be our regular catch up time. D lives alone and has memory issues so my weekly call is a lifeline for him as he self isolates. V and her husband are normally supported by a support worker. However she is having to self isolate so having me check in on them provides additional reassurance to them both.
