Your Heading

None of these ask for much: a phone, a stamp, a spare hour.
Most pairs end up doing two or three at once.

Companion calls

One phone or video call a week with the same person, and no script to follow.

Handwritten letters

For people who would rather write than talk. Paper, stamps, and a reason to check the mailbox.

Games by mail

Chess, cards, or crosswords, played a move at a time over weeks or months.

Garden visits

For neighbours close enough to meet: an hour of weeding, watering, or sitting outside together.

Small gatherings

Occasional tea, a potluck, or a slow walk, for members who want to meet face to face.

Tech buddies

Unhurried help with a phone, a video app, or whatever gadget the grandchildren sent.
