A caring, listening presence in Guildford.
Community Angels is a befriending project for vulnerable adults of any age. This may include those who face loneliness, isolation, illness or other personal difficulties.
Our volunteers visit people in their homes, providing companionship and support to reconnect with the local community.
Support is personalised and may range from chatting over a cup of tea to going for walks, trying a new activity, or accessing other types of help. Some adults may require short-term support through a difficult time, whilst others may benefit from longer term visits.

Making a referral
Are you worried about someone you know who may be lonely, isolated, or facing other difficulties in life?
We receive referrals from a range of organisations including health and social care professionals, charities and the police. We will also take self-referrals from the individual or from family, friends or members of the community.
