WEB befriending project

Befriending offers supportive, reliable relationships through volunteer befrienders to people who would otherwise be socially isolated. The results of befriending can be very significant, providing people with a new direction in life and opening up a range of activities leading to increased self-esteem and confidence. Befriending can also reduce the burden on other services which people may use inappropriately, as they seek social contact.

“The chances are we've all been affected by Loneliness, either directly or through someone close to us. We can all do more to try and make a difference and make our country a less lonely place."
Minister for Loneliness Baroness Diana Barran
