The Giving Charity - Seniors Befriender Programme

Seniors Befriender Programme

The Seniors Befriender Programme (SEP) is a community-based initiative that aims to provide companionship and support to seniors in Singapore.

The programme is run by a team of volunteers who are trained to provide emotional and social support to seniors who are lonely or isolated.

The programme works by matching volunteers with seniors who are in need of companionship.
Volunteers are typically matched with seniors who live in the same community or who share similar interests.
Volunteers visit their assigned seniors on a regular basis to chat, play games, or simply keep them company.

The Seniors Befriender Programme provides a number of benefits to both the seniors and the volunteers.

For the seniors, the programme provides much-needed companionship and support.
For the volunteers, the programme provides an opportunity to give back to the community and make a difference in the lives of others.
