A weekly visit for Swati, 81, who lives alone in Liverpool

I'm writing for my neighbor Swati, who's 81. Swati lives alone in Liverpool, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives 355 kilometers away. Swati loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Friday 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. Thanks for being kind about this.
