Befriending can offer a supportive and comforting presence in the lives of those who are affected by loneliness and social isolation. Befriending can help you get involved in your local community. The befriending role can involve visiting your ‘befriender’s’ home, offering your company and time, providing support accessing community activities, and accompanying them on short trips outside of the home. It can also be an opportunity to connect over shared hobbies or interests.
