Friendly visitor needed for an 82-year-old neighbor in Leeds

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

I'm writing for my neighbor Alexander, who's 82. Alexander lives alone in Leeds, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Alexander loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday 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.
