Are you a Carer who
needs a break?

Are you responsible for a
husband, wife, partner,
relative or friend?

The Carers Sitting Service provides
support by giving you a break to do the
shopping, go the hairdresser’s, the gym,
a yoga class, meet up with a friend for a
coffee or simply go for a walk. The service
gives you time, for you.

Sitting sessions are usually for a couple
of hours and weekly, but are arranged to
whatever suits you best. Sessions are
available in Thrapston now.

Volunteer Befrienders
A befriender:
• lives locally
• is understanding, patient, nonjudgmental
and open-minded
• is a good listener
• has been checked by the Disclosure
and Barring Service (DBS) and
provided two referees

Our befrienders do not give personal care
or cook meals, undertake cleaning or do
shopping.

However, they will give you what you need
most - a break from caring for someone
else so that you can take care of you.
We have a befriender in your area now,
so if you are interested:

call Adam Wilson on 01933 677837 or 07538 616387
