Mission Statement
The power of connection. BEfriend is a registered charity, established in 1994, providing one-to-one volunteer befriending for people feeling socially isolated in the London boroughs of Ealing and Hounslow.
Description
Our core Befriending Project supports people who are isolated and sometimes housebound. They may have a physical or sensory disability, or they may have mild dementia.
Our Linked Minds Befriending project provides specialist one-to-one befriending for adults who are isolated because of a diagnosed mental health problem.
Volunteering with BEfriend not only enriches the lives of those who are isolated, but also offers immense personal rewards. As a volunteer, you’ll befriend inspirational people with fascinating stories, develop new skills and be part of a supportive team that values compassion and connection.
