Could you share an hour a week with Oliver?

Looking for a friendly person in Leicester to visit Oliver once a week.

I'm writing for my neighbor Oliver, who's 77. Oliver lives alone in Leicester, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Oliver loves birdwatching, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Monday 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.

    So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Palmira.
