Fermanagh: The befriending service helping lonely people

During the Covid-19 pandemic many people felt cut off and isolated, trapped in their own homes.

In response, a community organisation in Fermanagh set up a telephone service to help connect people living alone during the lockdown.

Even as life returns to normal, they’ve discovered it is a service that is still very much in demand.

One man spoke to BBC News NI's south west reporter Julian Fowler about how the service has helped him.
