Hello all, I am the community sector rep for the complex care team in south molton. I recently recieved a referral for an elderly bereaved gentlemen looking for a 'fishing buddy'. I believe his interest is in course fishing? around the Taw, he has a heart condition which effects his breathing so fishing trips wouldnt be to long and he would need to be able to park close to the river/ lake (he does drive).... the idea is that the gentleman would have someone to talk to about fishing and share interests as he struggles to do it alone. Does anyone know of any groups/ clubs? or would anyone be interested in recieving some training and becoming a volunteer befriender?
If you have any info or are intersted please post here so that I can arrange to talk to you in more detail.
Thank you
L.H

Thanks for posting this!
If he would like to meet some time for a coffee and some fishing chat at the Fox and Hounds I would be happy to meet him if that would help.
Pete

Hi Ray,
Good to hear from you, thanks, I lost my Dad in Feb and have been amazed how my Mums friends have kept her company, taken her out and just looked after her to make sure she is OK. It really inspired me and if I can do just a little of the same it would be great.
Hope you are good and your season has been a good one.
Pete

Hi Terry,
My fingers are crossed that it works out and I get to meet the person. Talking about fishing is something I can seem to do for long periods of time and sometimes even pausing for breath!
Hopefully there will be the chance of some fishing too.
I really hope it can happen!
Pete
