What is Befriending?

Befriending is a relationship supported by an organisation to enable meaningful connections.

Who is befriending for?

Befriending is for everyone. The organisations on our directory support a diverse range of people, from those with a disability or specific health condition, people affected by drugs or alcohol, older people, young people, children, lone parents, ethnic minority communities.

Our vision is of a society where quality befriending support is available to everyone who needs it, and the importance of meaningful connection is recognised.

How do people connect?

· Face-to-face befriending, taking place in the home or community.

· Distance befriending, including telephone and video calls, letter writing, and gaming.
