We are thrilled to announce that we have been successful in our application to Teignbridge Community Lottery for a grant to support our Volunteer Centre in helping to reduce social isolation for older people across Teignbridge. Our Volunteer Befrienders offer support to many people, in 2024/2025 they gave over 2,500 hours to people across Teignbridge.
A quote from one of our older lady clients:
"My daughter only visits once a month as she lives away. My befriender visits me every weekend. She is so cheerful, we have a good giggle and a chat about all sorts, it really perks me up".
Our service is here to support the following groups of people in Teignbridge:
Older People, Adults with Dementia, Adults with Mental Health Problems, Adults with Sensory Disabilities, Adults with Physical Difficulties, Adults with Learning Difficulties and Carers of any of the above.
Assist Teignbridge received the King's Award for Voluntary Service.
