Mentoring
The Time
for Life mentoring service is available to anyone aged 50 or
over who is living in Devon and who has become socially
isolated.
Our aim is to help you choose, find and enjoy activities and social
opportunities to re-build confidence and enjoyment of life.

The service is for you:
|
|
If you are
experiencing difficulties because of isolation or you
are at risk of isolation. It may be that you live in a
rural area with little or no public transport or in an
area with no sense of community belonging. You could be
lacking supporting networks around you or have recently
moved to a new area which you do not know very well. |
|
|
If you
have had a recent life change, perhaps you have lost a
loved one or perhaps you or a member of your family has
an Illness, a physical or sensory impairment or a
disability. |
|
|
If you are
experiencing stress through every day life, maybe you
are having problems managing your money or maybe where
you are living is causing you distress. |
We will arrange for the local co-ordinator to get in touch and
arrange to visit you so that you can find out how a community
mentor can help. It may be that we only need to point you in the
direction of other organisations that will be able to help you,
If you need more help we will work together to plan what you
would like to achieve with the help of the service. This may
include having a mentor working alongside you for a period of
time. Everyone is different so each plan will be individual to
match the person’s needs.
Referrals to Time for Life can be made by anyone. This includes
health professionals, social workers, family, friends or by the
individual themselves.
