Trevor’s sponsored beard shave!
Trevor has been sporting a beard now for over 4 years and
is willing to take the plunge and shave it all off in aid of Cyril Flint
Befrienders once he reaches his fundraising target!
Trevor is Executive Chairman of The Human Support Group, a care company whose directors set up the charity back in 2012 to offer a free
befriending service to lonely and isolated older people. The charity was
inspired by one of the company’s clients who had spent 23 Christmases alone since the passing of his wife. The company were keen to put something in place so that older people weren’t finding themselves in a situation where they felt carers were their only form of company.
Cyril Flint Befrienders matches trained volunteers up with lonely older people in their local community whom they visit on a weekly basis for a chat, walk in the park or a visit to the local shops. Our Befriendees tell us that having a befriender not only reduces their feelings of isolation, it also boosts their self-esteem knowing someone is coming to visit them through choice, rather than as a paid professional; helps boost their confidence and gives them a much needed connection to their local community again.
Trevor is passionate about raising as much as he can for the charity and is keen to reach a target of £1000 before going under the razor! Very kindly the chaps at Bert and Bert Barbers in Altrincham have offered to do the deed!
Please dig deep and get behind Trevor in supporting this great cause!
