CAB                     Open House           Mental Health Services          Turning Point            Your Local Church
Job Centre           Social Services         Children’s Centres                   Catch 22                     some GPs

Lonely?

In need of Friendship?

If you are isolated due to a physical disability, a learning disability or a mental health problem, The Befriending Scheme may be able to arrange for a volunteer Befriender to visit you or meet up once a week or so. The Befriending scheme works hard to get to know you so they can link you with a volunteer who has similar interests or hobbies. If you would like to have a 1-to-1 Befriender, please contact Danielle on 01787 371 333.
