Friendly visitor needed for an 86-year-old neighbor in Nottingham

I'm writing for my neighbor Courtney, who's 86. Courtney lives alone in Nottingham, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives several hours away. Courtney loves opera, 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
