Our befriending service is currently able to offer telephone befriending across Britain.
Our trained befrienders will contact you over the telephone or through an online messaging service for a friendly chat. Calls are usually weekly. We also offer a monthly check & chat service for those who appreciate light touch support and a pen pals option if you prefer to keep in touch by writing.
Face-to-face befriending may be available in areas where we have volunteers, there is currently a wait list for face to face befrienders in Cheshire East.
Face to face befrienders visit your home on a regular basis at a time that is convenient to both the volunteer and yourself.
A typical visit could include a sit down with tea and cake followed by a chat about your lives, or maybe you’ll chat while you play cards.
The content of the visit is entirely up to you but the befriender will always provide a listening ear. We can also signpost you to other support services if needed.
