We are the network for befriending organisations
Befriending Networks support and connect befriending services across the globe, providing sector-specific training, events, resources and awards that support quality in befriending.
Our vision is of a society where quality befriending support is available to everyone who needs it and the importance of meaningful connection is recognised. We invite a variety of befriending services to join our network, whether your project offers face-to-face, telephone, group or online befriending.
Join today and become one of the Befriending Networks members delivering quality befriending services that promote wellbeing and meaningful connections, ensuring everyone is valued.
