Befriending Service

Reducing Isolation

Do you enjoy making friends and chatting to people? Our Befriending Service could be for you.

We have run our successful Befriending Service for over ten years in West Suffolk.

We would love to hear from you if you would like to make a difference to someone in your local community simply by being you! We try to match people with similar interests and have found that many rewarding, mutually beneficial friendships evolve from Befriending.

We can be flexible about how and when you volunteer. We offer face to face befriending, telephone befriending or a combination of the two.

Our volunteers are all Enhanced DBS checked, receive a full induction and ongoing support.

If you would like to find out more call 01638 608022 or email befriending@thevoluntarynetwork.org

Two million people in the UK over 65 years old are currently living alone.
