re:discover (Midlothian)

re:discover Midlothian has now evolved to a distance befriending service.

Trained volunteers offer support via telephone or video calls to explore ways to use the current situation to promote positive wellbeing and self-care. This could be by exploring ways to connect, be active or learn something new.

Support usually takes place once per week for around 30-45 minutes and matches will last for 6 months.

Access the service

You can self-refer or be referred by someone else.

The referral forms can be found at the bottom of this page.
