Almoner Home Visits

Our almoner home visits are a key element of our welfare service. Our almoners are the human faces of NewstrAid and, through their home visits, they enable us to deliver our welfare service on a personal, local level, which means so much more to those in need of support.

Our almoner service allows us to alleviate isolation and loneliness, a particular problem for the elderly and disabled who may have little contact with others. A chat over a cup of tea can mean the world to somebody who does not have family or friends living nearby or cannot get out due to poor health or old age.

Befriending Calls

Our welfare team are always at the end of the phone should our beneficiaries need help, support or just a friendly voice. The team ensure they stay in touch with beneficiaries throughout the year, especially those that are experiencing loneliness or other emotional difficulties.
