Travelling Companionship Service: Age UK Norfolk
Age UK Norfolk have a new Travel Companionship service, the service is aimed at reducing loneliness amongst isolated older people by helping them reconnect with their local community, friends and family. We will be supporting them throughout their journey from leaving their homes, using public transport or taxis, as well as walking and cycling and attending local events/ activities.
They will support them to address any barriers they may face from leaving their homes and going outside to socialise, whilst building their confidence.
They can help for up to 8 weeks and may also support people if they need to get to appointments, such as flu or COVID boosters and they are nervous about making the trip.
