Would you like a volunteer to help you?
“Thank you so much for getting me the help (a MertonVision volunteer). It’s given me so much more peace of mind. It’s so much better than just sitting here worrying about going out…..Thank you”

Please see here to request a volunteer:
Most clients request our Home visiting Service. Clients requesting a volunteer are first visited by the volunteer co-ordinator to assess what assistance is wanted or needed. This can include:
- Companionship, to break the cycle of isolation, anxiety and depression.
- Reducing stress by reading personal correspondence, helping with paying bills, online shopping or banking.
- Restoring confidence by escorting on shopping trips to local stores.
- Increasing enjoyment, social interaction and wellbeing by escorting on local walks, or visits to places of interest.
You can make a request for a volunteer by contacting Hassan Khan, our Volunteer Services Manager. He will visit you to discuss your needs.
As soon as a suitably matched volunteer becomes available you will be introduced at a mutually convenient time.
