VPL Connect is a program that offers our more vulnerable police legatees frequent telephone contact from a VPL Connect volunteer and is in addition to the welfare work undertaken by our Field Officers. VPL Connect volunteers are compassionate, patient, and cheerful people who take a great interest in our police legatees through meaningful conversations. With isolation and loneliness on the increase, these frequent telephone contacts help keep police legatees engaged and helps remind that they are important and that we care.
