A volunteer befriender gives their time and friendship to someone who may be lonely, isolated or wanting to meet new people.

Befriending is often seen as the fun side of volunteering. You could help someone to access a group in their local community, join them for a movie at the cinema, enjoy a cuppa at the local café, or just have a friendly conversation. It’s these little things that make the biggest impact. Befriending is a gradual process, and we can provide any training you may need so that you are comfortable in your befriending role.

If you can spare a couple of hours once a week or fortnight, please call us on 01737 773424.
