A weekly visit for Naomi, 77, who lives alone in Aberdeen

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Naomi is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Naomi, who's 77. Naomi lives alone in Aberdeen, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Naomi loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. I hope life is good to you.
