Volunteer to visit older gentleman with many interests and hobbies

Enrych Berkshire

How about visiting a really interesting gentleman who has previously enjoyed many interests and hobbies, which he is now unable to go out and enjoy.  To have somebody visit and enjoy chatting about his hobbies and hear about your interests, would make a huge difference to his life.  Due to health complications and bad arthritis, he is rather isolated.  To have a visitor and feel like he can share his experiences of his hobbies or enjoy doing a jigsaw puzzle together, would be appreciated.  Very flexible opportunity with a really friendly, interesting guy.  Lives in Tilehurst
