What is Loneliness Support?
Loneliness Support can be deeply rewarding and enriching. It can bring comfort and joy, and can help improve mental and physical wellbeing. It can also provide much-needed support, understanding, and empathy in difficult times.
Understanding
Many people in our community struggle with loneliness. It may come from living alone, not having a partner, or simply needing someone new or different to speak with from time to time.
Empathy
Pomba Branca offers relief through its network of Companions: volunteers who can spend time with people who are alone. Our Companions offer an open heart and listen without judgement.
Support
The Pomba Branca Loneliness Support programme respects the dignity of every person. It creates a safe personal space in a world that can often feel tense and confusing, and it invites people to discover what they share with others.
