Befriending Week 2024 – Gemma and Rhys

We sat down to chat with volunteer befriender Gemma for Befriending Week 2024 to hear her experience of befriending, highlights with her befriendee and her advice to anyone thinking about volunteering!

Befriending Week 2024 – Narelle and Freddie

Our second volunteer befriender for our Befriending Week spotlight is Narelle! Narelle has befriended Freddie for a year and a half, and they both love every second of it! From DJ sets in the car to imaginary play in the park, Freddie and Narelle have a blast whenever they are together!

Shannon & Jennifer’s Befriending Story

“Becoming a befriender has definitely changed my life. I am proud to be part of the charity. It’s rewarding seeing how happy my befriendee is during each outing.” –

We were delighted to receive a grant of £16,054 from the People’s Postcode Trust during 2023-2024!
