Title: Teignbridge Community Lottery grant award for Assist Teignbridge
Content: We are thrilled to announce that we have been successful in our application to Teignbridge Community Lottery for a grant to support our Volunteer Centre in helping to reduce social isolation for older people across Teignbridge. Our Volunteer Befrienders offer support to many people, in 2024/2025 they gave over 2,500 hours to people across Teignbridge.
A quote from one of our older lady clients:
“My daughter only visits once a month as she lives away. My befriender visits me every weekend. She is so cheerful, we have a good giggle and a chat about all sorts, it really perks me up”.
