Befriending service
Our Befriending Volunteers offer supportive, reliable friendships to people who would otherwise be socially isolated. Our Befriending Volunteers are empathetic and good at talking and listening. Befriending is fun, safe and easy. Lots of people say these chats are the highlight of their week.
What are the benefits?
Request a Befriender from us and you can build up and maintain a trusting close relationship over time. Regular social interaction might help you pursue a new direction in life, open up a range of activities, and build confidence. Your one to one relationship will be supported by us.
