Could you be a befriender?

Do you have some free time that you could share with someone feeling isolated or lonely? Do you have interests or hobbies that you could inspire someone else to enjoy alongside you?

Our Volunteer Befrienders have gone cycling and swimming, helped with gardens, been to cinemas, tried yoga and tai chi, drunk tea and chatted, talked through problems, laughed out loud and made a real difference to peoples wellbeing.

What skills do I need?

Good listener, and be over 18 years of age
