Could you share an hour a week with Nadia?

Looking for a friendly person in East London to visit Nadia once a week.

East London
I'm writing for my neighbor Nadia, who's 77. Nadia lives alone in East London, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Nadia loves old films, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Sunday 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.
