Befriender/Mentor-Adults (Families Linked In Project)

Barnardo's
VO99533

Volunteers to provide quality 1:1 time on a regular basis to help adults (18+) to access leisure and recreational opportunities in the local community and to help improve wellbeing. Activities can include going for a walk or going to a local park, local museums and going for a chat. This quality time would allow a space for a parent to talk about how they are feeling as well as a time for them to have time in their local community. Befriender/mentoring roles are a way of helping adults achieve their goals. The volunteer mentor role can also involve providing both emotional and practical support to work towards specific goals identified by the individual.
