Our volunteers all receive the training and information they need before beginning their role, as well as ongoing support whenever they need it. We couldn’t do our work without them.

Volunteering with Omega brings many advantages, whatever your stage of life - a chance to put a smile on someone’s face, to bring purpose to your day and to help develop new friendships, skills and knowledge. It can even enhance your CV when applying for jobs.

Some of our new volunteers are students, who found us thanks to our collaboration with a number of universities including Manchester, Warwick, Southampton and others.

Welcome to all our new volunteers!

We are really pleased to have recruited lots of new volunteers recently, who will be working with us as telephone befrienders and penpals, as well as interns who help us behind the scenes.

The grant will help us continue our vital work supporting people who are experiencing profound loneliness and social isolation.

Thank you so much, and all our other funders, supporters and volunteers who make our work possible! We can't do it without you.

We are incredibly grateful to the Garfield Weston Foundation @westonfdn.bsky.social, who have recently awarded us a grant towards our core costs! 💛💛

Core cost funding is really helpful to us, and this grant comes at a time when securing funding is increasingly difficult.

The more nominations Omega receives, the better our chances of receiving a £1,000 donation towards our work supporting people experiencing loneliness and isolation.

Thank you
