Join Us in Celebrating 50 Years of Befriend a Child—and Help Create Future Friendships!

For half a century, Befriend a Child has been turning frowns upside down by providing vital support, encouragement, and positive role models for children across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. As we look ahead to the next 50 years, we need caring and reliable individuals like you to help us continue this legacy.

By volunteering your time, whether as a befriender, mentor, sessional volunteer, or event helper, you can play a direct role in transforming the lives of local children. Through regular meet-ups, group activities, or simply offering a listening ear, you’ll build meaningful relationships that foster confidence, self-esteem, and hope for the future.

Volunteering with us is incredibly rewarding. You’ll become part of a supportive and friendly community, receive training and guidance, and know that every hour you spend with a child helps shape a brighter tomorrow.

Come be a part of our mission to empower the next generation, together, we can keep turning frowns upside down for years to come.
