volunteers||made|by|Para 1.38|increased substantially
over the last
financial year. As a result ofthe Covid
pandemic
we have recruited volunteers| ||||||specifically to make telephone
calls to
lonely and isolated people.
During lock-| ||||||down restrictions
our volunteers
were| ||||||unable to make their usual visits to their| ||||||befriended
people but instead they made| ||||||telephone calls and helped with
shopping
and collection ofmedicines.
Our whole charity is run by volunteers| ||||||and we would be unable to operate| ||||||without them.
In addition to our| ||||||telephone
and visiting volunteers
our| ||||||founder and Chair works relentlessly
in| ||||||promoting
our services and liaising with

and besides| ||||||having their quarterly
meetings also help| ||||||out with fund-raising,

we have
been unable to arrange any outings for
lunches orafternoon teas this year and
all our efforts have been in dealing with
the many referrals to us ofpeople who
became very lonely due to the isolation
during
lock-down and the fear ofthe
pandemic.
We managed
to recruit
more volunteers
through
Radio
interviews,
Facebook, posters, etc.and
by the end ofthe year our volunteers| |---|---|---|---| ||||were telephoning
about 160people.
Our
charity has made adifference to the lives
ofmany lonely people, mainly
in the
Chorley and surrounding
area by
providing
a friend to keep in touch by
telephone
and helping, when| ||||appropriate,
with shopping.
As we
could not have any outings,
with the
generosity ofAsda we were given boxes
ofchocolates or biscuits forasurprise
delivery to our befriended
people.
The
boxes were gift wrapped
and delivered| ||||by our volunteers,
together with a
special card and bookmark
made by one
ofour trustees, to 160people and were
gratefully
received.
This year has been
the most challenging
year in our history
because ofthe pandemic,
lockdowns,
shielding
and the increased
isolation| ||||forced upon everyone.
We have
accepted the challenge
and relieved so| ||||many people from their loneliness.
We| ||||have taken on 108new referrals and| ||||recruited„ trained and nurtured
113new| ||||volunteers.
Some ofthese volunteers| ||||have subsequently
had to resign due to
having to return to work.| |Additional
