Become a Befriender
Befrienders commit to one meeting a week for a minimum period of 6 months. If you have time to spare and want to get involved in what can be a very enjoyable and rewarding activity, we’d love to hear from you.
If you want to be involved and have less time to give, Blether Buddies commit to one or more phone calls at the same time each week from their home or workplace.
We provide training, ongoing support, out of pocket expenses and opportunities to meet other befrienders, through social events and volunteer meetings.
