Congrats to big-hearted volunteers

Wednesday, 2 July 2008

Congratulations go to a group of local women who recently passed a volunteer programme which will help them to ‘befriend’ the elderly in east Belfast.

Anne Wallace, Agnes Boyles, Dora Robinson and Debbie Walker have passed Equipping Befriender’s Programme OCN Level 2 with flying colours.

The programme, run by Oasis, is aimed at volunteers who visit older people who are isolated and lonely in east Belfast and provides befrienders with the skills, knowledge and advice they will need.

If interested in volunteering for the befriending project contact Isobell Miles on 028 90 872 277 extension 214.
