Befriending Services

Please note we are unfortunately not currently taking referrals for our befriending service (telephone, face to face and intervention) and our waiting list is closed as we are at capacity. Our Befriending Café option is still available. Please head this page for more information.

We are currently looking for more volunteers to support this service. If you would like to volunteer for a few hours a week to help reduce social isolation in Bexley, please head to our volunteer page.

Our Befriending Service has three options to ensure we include as many people as possible in benefitting from our support and community activities.

How we can help

Our befriending service provides an older person with a link to the outside world and often acts as a gateway for other services and valuable support. It provides three tiers of support, which anyone using the service can move between as their needs change. We will speak to all new candidates for the service to identify which option would work best for them.
