We are looking for Telephone Befrienders
The primary aim of befriending is to enhance the quality of a befriendee’s life by offering them the opportunity to form a trusting relationship.
More specifically, services aim to enable their befriendee's to:
become less socially isolated
develop their self-confidence and emotional growth
increase their capacity to use personal resources
enhance their skills for forming and maintaining relationships with others
develop greater resilience
improve their well-being
feel supported by someone who is consistent and reliable
experience some purely social interaction on a regular basis (i.e. not simply as a by-product of receiving another service)
