Companionship wanted: Piper's knitting and a cup of tea

Looking for a friendly person in Sheffield to visit Piper once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Piper, who's 79. Piper lives alone in Sheffield, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Piper loves knitting, 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • so sorry you're going through this, Oliver. Get well soon.

    • Sending strength, Oliver. Hope the doctors have good news

      • Sending love, Oliver. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

        • Sending love, Oliver. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 27 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
