Befriending Networks

Befriending Network Scotland provide an online database of Befriending Services throughout Scotland. The database can be accessed via their website www.befriending.co.ukBefriending offers supportive, reliable relationships through volunteer befrienders to people who would otherwise be socially isolated. Befriending often provides people with a new direction in life, opens up a range of activities and leads to increased self-esteem and self confidence. Befriending can also reduce the burden on other services which people may use inappropriately as they seek social contact.
