West Dorset Befriending Scheme<br />
POPP, NHS Dorset and WRVS are working together to<br />
establish a community befriending service for Lyme,<br />
<strong>Charmouth</strong> and the surrounding villages. West Dorset<br />
Befriending Scheme is a voluntary service, available to<br />
anyone in the Lyme, <strong>Charmouth</strong> and local areas.<br />
Volunteers are needed to provide a range of services to<br />
people who require additional support to remain<br />
independent. Anyone can become a volunteer and make an<br />
incredible difference to someone else’s life. By donating<br />
just 1 hour per week you can change the life of someone<br />
who is lonely or vulnerable.<br />
We also need a volunteer to coordinate the service in Lyme<br />
ie. Meeting new clients, interviewing potential volunteers<br />
and facilitating the introduction of volunteer and client<br />
Services that will be provided by volunteers include;<br />
� Home visits, sharing a cup of tea and a good<br />
conversation<br />
� Accompanying clients on shopping trips or<br />
shopping on their behalf<br />
� Reading to those who are visually impaired<br />
� Assisting with correspondence<br />
� Taking clients on short wheelchair excursions<br />
� Accompanying people on short walks<br />
� Sitting to relieve a carer<br />
There is no age limit for volunteers. You just need to;<br />
� possess a willingness and desire to help<br />
� be committed to providing reliable, consistent<br />
support<br />
� identify how much time you are able to<br />
comfortably give<br />
� identify the kind of service you would like to offer<br />
� enjoy sharing your time with others and meeting<br />
new people<br />
The benefits to both volunteers and patients are numerous<br />
and rewarding;<br />
� you meet new people<br />
� you learn new things about others and the area in<br />
which you live<br />
� clients retain their independence and self-esteem<br />
� volunteers experience a feeling of contributing to<br />
an invaluable service and of making a real<br />
difference to the life of someone else<br />

other volunteers to talk about the type of work they would<br />
most enjoy and then introduce them to a person who will<br />
benefit from their support.<br />

<strong>Charmouth</strong> Youth Club<br />
We believe that young people benefit from constructive<br />
activities during their leisure time and that giving young<br />
people somewhere to go, something to do, and someone<br />
to talk to is important.<br />
In addition to our Junior youth work session on Tuesday<br />
evenings, we are looking to do more by opening up<br />
another session for older young people (13 +).<br />
If you believe that you want to help young people reach<br />
their full potential you can make a significant contribution<br />
by volunteering. If you:<br />
� have some time to offer and want to make a<br />
difference<br />
� can listen and be non judgemental<br />
� are 18+<br />
We will provide you with training and support.<br />
Please contact us on 01308 422500 if you would like to<br />
find out more about becoming a volunteer.<br />
