Kent Coast Volunteering connects commmunities through volunteering and community led projects; supporting volunteers and volunteering-led projects to meet needs and improve quality of life. . Our accredited befriending service reduces loneliness among older people by matching them with a volunteer who makes regular visits for tea and a chat. Our volunteer drivers take older people who can't use public transport to essential medical appointments and to social appointments to prevent isolation. We also provide infrastructure support for volunteer-involving organisations, including finding volunteers, best practice resources, networking and learning opportunities, a DBS service and incubator support.
