How we can help you. A lady fighting back tears as she receives help from two caring visitors.

What to expect

As support is provided by volunteers, it can take time to arrange a visit and/or a phone call. We’ll be in touch as soon as possible and we appreciate your patience.

Please be aware that SVP is not an emergency service.

  • Where possible, we will ring you beforehand to arrange a visit. This phone call may be from a private number.
  • Two of our volunteers will visit you - volunteers are not permitted to visit you on their own.
  • SVP volunteers will respect your privacy and must follow our guidelines about confidentiality.
  • Our service is non-judgemental and you can expect to be treated with courtesy and respect.
  • As every situation is different, SVP volunteers will provide advice and/or assistance based on your specific needs. It may take more than one visit to provide the help you need.

 

Our support includes:

  • Offering friendship and a listening ear
  • Providing practical help with financial problems
  • Providing information about other organisations that also may be able to help you.
  • Help with explaining your case to other organisations.
  • Assistance with education
