Our Churn Good Neighbours service in Cirencester and the surrounding villages is a free and confidential service available to anyone over 60 who is living alone.

We match people with a volunteer befriender who can make regular phone calls or visits to their home. The befriender will not take on other things such as personal care and household tasks but, with the help of Churn Project staff, they can signpost to other organisations that may be able to offer more support.

The Churn Good Neighbours service is a very successful cornerstone of The Churn Project’s work. Our volunteer befrienders, and the older people they are matched with, gain hugely from the befriending experience and both love the friendships that are made.
