Interim Volunteer Videos

In April 2020 Befriending Networks developed an Interim Volunteer Training to give organisations the tools to support current volunteers to provide telephone/distance befriending and/or train new volunteers coming forward during the pandemic. We are proud to have been able to contribute to helping voluntary organisations across the UK support people at a time of crisis. As circumstances continue to evolve and 'new normals' established, this resource is no longer available. Befriending Networks will soon be launching a new Volunteer Training Toolkit for our members.
