Friendly visits
A trained volunteer comes regularly to chat, read, play games or simply share a coffee.
Programme — Elders
Breaking isolation, rebuilding ties
Friendly visits, workshops, outings, administrative and digital help: our volunteers are alongside seniors every day.
Our approach
Isolation is one of the leading causes of suffering for older people. In Rouen, Le Petit-Quevilly and surrounding towns, many elders live alone — sometimes without a single visit for weeks. Our volunteers, trained in active listening, visit them, share a moment, accompany a walk, read together, or help with a medical appointment.
Our goal is not to replace existing services (CCAS, home-care services, etc.), but to complement them with a regular, warm human presence. We work hand in hand with local actors to direct each person to the right resource.
