- The Befriending Scheme provides friendship and learning opportunities for adults (16yrs+) from vulnerable groups, including those with mental health needs and older people, as well as people with learning disabilities.
- Founded in 1989 its core activities are running regular drop-in centres, now known as Hubs, building meaningful 1-to-1 friendships between vulnerable people and volunteer Befrienders, evening Befrienders Clubs and Saturday morning groups.
- It also runs one-off themed activity days, workshops and social events as well as providing volunteer training and support for Carers across the county.
