Maureen's picked her pumpkin for Halloween! - Cyril Flint Befrienders Story
Lydia first saw the advert about becoming a Cyril Flint Befriender over three years ago. When she first met Maureen, who had just come out of hospital, she was very down and depressed. Maureen was so isolated, she had almost forgotten how to speak, was hunched and closed, and told Lydia that she was basically just waiting to die. Lydia continued to visit Maureen every week and since then, she has seen her blossom and "come alive again".
