Befriending
Across the City there are volunteers who are trained & vetted to provide friendship & companionship, good conversation, encouragement, and opportunities to laugh together.
Befriending offers supportive, reliable relationships to people who would otherwise be socially isolated through volunteer befrienders visiting an individual in their own home.
We also offer befriending groups, where people who struggle to access community activities can come together for fun and friendship in a group setting.
