What is KEMP Befriending Service?

The KEMP Befriending Service aims to provide companionship, emotional support and a listening ear to those living with life limiting illness, who may be experiencing isolation and loneliness in their home.

The KEMP Befriending Service places a Volunteer with someone who would benefit from a weekly visit to offer company and conversation. They may join in with hobbies and interests of the person they are visiting but will not be permitted or required to provide any personal or medical care.
