Linking Lives Bedford
We offer befriending to adults (18+), who live in Bedford and are experiencing loneliness and isolation. When appropriate, we may also help to support connecting with the local community. We aim to offer face to face befriending but may offer telephone befriending where this isn’t possible.
Information for volunteers
Our volunteers are trained to work with those who are experiencing loneliness and social isolation. We organise a DBS check for all our volunteers. Our befrienders offer a listening ear, time, encouragement, and where appropriate, support to integrate into the life of the community. They do this by offering positive friendships through weekly or fortnightly visits. We also offer telephone befriending, when required.
