Distance Befrienders - Befrienders Highland

Ref 40 - 129

We all enjoy time with friends, we don't often stop to think how important friends are. Life can be pretty lonely for people who don't have a good friend - you can change this for them.


Befrienders Highland is looking for befrienders to take part in a new befriending scheme to offer friendship to people who are homebound or rurally isolated and are unable to get out to make new friends. A befriender can give someone the chance to enjoy friendship, albeit at a distance. Volunteering is simple enough as you do it from home! All you need is either a telephone or email or a letter box and a wish to make a new friend!

Befrienders of all ages and backgrounds are needed from the Highlands and Skye areas. We take care to introduce you to someone who shares some of your own interests so that you have something in common straight away. Enjoy your spare time and make a difference to someone's life - befriend!

Befrienders Highland supports people who are isolated as a result of mental health problems.

(Volunteering takes place within volunteer's own home.)
