Social care and health Adult care services Getting out and about
Befriending services are offered through voluntary organisations. They provide opportunities for social interaction if you are feeling isolated through illness, disability, mental illness, old age or social disadvantage.
A befriender can offer you:
- someone to talk to who will listen to you
- someone to go out for a coffee or tea with
- someone to share a leisure activity with
- someone to attend a group with you
There are different organisations and groups across the county who can provide befriending services.
