What this work looks like
Typical companionship shifts include spending time talking, reading together, supporting a hobby, taking short local walks, or accompanying someone to a café or community group.

These roles suit carers who enjoy building trusting relationships and who want to make a real difference to someone’s day-to-day life in Corbridge and across Northumberland.
