Befriending
Our Befriending Service is aimed at lonely and socially isolated people who live in Buxton, Chapel and the surrounding areas.
Volunteers are recruited as befrienders who will then act as “a good neighbour” by visiting someone in their home and giving them some company, sharing an activity with them or doing small amounts of shopping or other small tasks that will help the person they are befriending.
Who Can Volunteer?
Anyone who is patient, friendly honest and reliable and who is happy to receive training and who is happy to give a little of their time to someone else.
