Become a Volunteer Befriender

Befriending is a great way to:

- Meet others
- Learn new skills
- Gain confidence
- Bring the outside world in to someone who is lonely

We train and support all volunteers. We also pay for travel and other costs so that you are not out of pocket.

Find out more about the role of a befriender.

Can you spare a couple of hours a week?

We are currently looking for volunteer befrienders for in person visits, as well as distance befriending (i.e. phone / video).

Please see https://www.ecas.scot/befriending/befriending-opportunities.

You could make a big difference to someone’s life, including your own! Contact us for more information.
