Our communities need #befriending - but services are overstretched

This summer, Befriending Networks @befriending.co.uk checked in with their members in a membership survey. Here, their CEO Susan Hunter shares some of the research findings.

Looking forward to facilitating this event on Nov 6 for #Volunteers. Open invite to all of you tackling social isolation and loneliness through #Befriending. We'll be celebrating all the positive stories during #BefriendingWeek and I look forward to meeting with befrienders directly.

Befriending can make a real difference to a young person’s life, helping them access opportunities they may not otherwise have had.
