Reducing loneliness and isolation
If you are feeling lonely and would like more social contact, Swindon Circles can help.
What you can expect
If you would like a volunteer to visit you at home, or to call you regularly for a chat, you can apply for Swindon Circles. We will try to match you with a suitable volunteer.
We assess every referral to check the service is right for you. Once your referral is accepted, a Live Well navigator will contact you to talk through your needs and answer your questions.
Your navigator will try to match you with a volunteer who offers companionship in person or by phone. We have a limited number of volunteers, so we cannot guarantee a match.
Please note: this service does not replace care services. It offers companionship alongside any support you already receive.

You can apply if you:
- are housebound
