Sponsor a befriender
1 in 10 people in Scotland report feeling lonely often*
Our befriending service supports people who are experiencing isolation and loneliness. They are matched with a connecting or peer volunteer who supports them to explore and connect with their local community and build their confidence. Our befriending, connecting and peer services are needed now, more than ever.
As little as £4 a month could support a volunteer like Andrew to help end loneliness in your community.
