Befriending Service
Do you want to feel more connected to your community?
Our Volunteer Befriending service connects local Disabled people with volunteers who visit them at their home or take them out into the community, combatting social isolation and loneliness.
Visits are usually 2 hrs a week and may involve a short walk, chatting at home or visiting community groups or a place of interest together. We carefully match our volunteers and clients based on shared interests and backgrounds, with the hope that a friendship will grow over time.
The service is open to adult clients who are Disabled, have a long-term health condition or barriers preventing them from socialising. To access the Befriending Service, contact our team and we will walk you through the process. If you are an organisation, you can refer a client to this service using the referral form.
