Many thanks to all the ladies from Burton Corner Women’s Institute who came to listen to my talk on ‘staying safe’ in Boston last night
Stuart Gibbon's talk about 'Staying Safe' was very well received by the volunteers of Evergreen Sleaford, a 1:1
befriending charity for older, lonely, vulnerable people in Sleaford and District. The topics covered were of great
relevance to the volunteers who visit people in their own homes as they need to be aware of risks to the people
they befriend as well as themselves. Stuart gave us useful, practical advice to help our befriendees and befrienders
to stay safe at home and when out and about. Thank you.Evergreen Befriending Service, Sleaford
