Telephone Befriending Service
Do you sometimes feel you don't have anybody to talk to?
Would you like to hear a friendly voice on the phone once a week, someone who understands about caring?
The Carers Telephone Befriending Service has been successfully supporting Leicestershire carers for many years.
How does the service work?
The befriending service is run by Liz McMillan and the phone calls are made by trained volunteers, who understand the issues associated with caring. One of our volunteers will ring you once a week or once a fortnight to talk about anything you like - whether you fancy a light-hearted chat or a chance to 'get it all off your chest' - depending on what kind of a week you've had!
In a nutshell, the service is like having a supportive friend at the end of the phone - when it's convenient for you!

Are you a carer who's already made use of the Telephone Befriending Service?
If so, please could you let us know what you think of the service - your feedback will help us to continually improve the service and spread the word to other carers.
