Voluntary Services
Community, Health and Social Care cannot always provide services to everyone who wants them, even when they are finding it difficult to manage at home. There are a number of voluntary organisations which may be able to help, if we cannot.
If we cannot provide services for you, we will normally suggest some organisations that could. Staff have a database of over 1,000 services provided to Salford residents and we will try to look up something to help you. You can also contact social.services@salford.gov.uk.
Some of the services that the voluntary sector provide are:
Voluntary Friends for Older People
A volunteer befriending organisation dedicated to the support of lonely older people with the aim of combating isolation and depression.
