A Big Welcome to Sarah

We are delighted to announce the launch of Good Neighbours Service and Super Befrienders project across the Folkestone, Hythe and Dover district areas.

Our GNS Coordinator, Sarah Murnane, (pictured) has been busy since September recruiting volunteers and being out and about in the community meeting people.

She says: “loneliness is something that I am sure we have all experienced at some stage in our life.  I have personal experience of it and feeling like I had no one who cared. Just a kind word or a hello can be all it takes to change someone’s day/week. So, imagine spending time having a cup of tea or a walk with someone who may not see anyone for weeks.   I am looking forward to meeting volunteers who can make a difference and help make someone feel less alone. Working with volunteers is so rewarding and knowing that you are making a difference is truly satisfying.”

The service matches volunteer befrienders with people who may otherwise not see anyone from one week to the next. They are a friendly face and listening ear, a bit of extra help that makes life easier for them.

You can contact Sarah at gns@kcv.org.uk, on 01304 367878 (option GNS), or her mobile on 07816406339

These projects have been made possible with generous funding from The Philip and Connie Phillips Foundation and CrowdFund Kent.

Thank you so much. We will keep you posted.
