Befriending

Befriending

London can be a lonely city, but it doesn’t have to be.

We bring our volunteers and clients together to reduce loneliness and improve emotional wellbeing.

Blether Buddy Befrienders

Befrienders provide companionship, friendly conversation, and a non-judgemental listening ear.  Our carefully selected volunteers can visit you at home, meet you in your community, or call you for a weekly blether.

If you are 60 or over and want to apply for a Befriender

Call us on 0800 652 2989 or email volunteering@scotscare.com
