Befriending and Wellbeing

Are you in need of a bit of company or would you like to meet new people? Our befriending service aims to connect those who are feeling lonely or isolated within their community. We do this by offering support to help attend activities in the centre, visit in the home, a telephone call for a friendly chat, or help to find other services in the area.

Get in touch with our dedicated coordinator to find out more!

What our members have to say

Coming to the group today – it felt like climbing a mountain – but with some help and support it’s been great meeting new people and chatting.

Thank you for visiting my Mam – your visits really cheer her up. It gives her someone other than me to chat to.

I really enjoy our chats. We talk about all kinds of things. I get very anxious on my own and my tummy tenses up. But it helps when we chat, and I have some company.
