Telephone Buddies

RBL’s Branch Community Support (BCS) scheme brings together a dedicated network of trained volunteers across the UK and overseas.

Our volunteers offer companionship and a friendly listening ear through regular telephone calls and home visits.

For members of the Armed Forces community who may be feeling isolated or lonely, simply having someone to talk to can make a massive difference. Our volunteers help to build meaningful connections to improve wellbeing and remind people they’re not alone.

We ensure all our volunteers receive appropriate training and support, so that our service is delivered safely, consistently, and with care. When additional help is needed, our beneficiaries may be connected with RBL’s wider welfare services.

If you know someone who would benefit from a friendly face or a regular phone call, please get in touch with us using the details below.
