Donate and Make a Difference!

Your donation supports weekly befriending visits for people who have no one to talk to

Although befriending visits are delivered by volunteers, the programme itself requires ongoing coordination, safety checks, training, and support,

Your donation helps us match people safely, monitor wellbeing, train volunteers, and ensure every visit is delivered responsibly.

We report on the number of matches, visits, and outcomes so you can see the real impact of your contribution.

Improving Lives Locally

We’re an independent charity working with and supporting voluntary and community organisations, statutory agencies and the business community to promote voluntary work, be a voice for the voluntary sector and identify gaps in provision of services.

We offer many free services to local voluntary groups including finding suitable volunteers, funding advice, help with business planning, marketing, access to training and much more.

Why donate?

Donations turn into regular warm conversations and the feeling that someone is waiting for you
The help remains safe and genuine. Checks, training and support are funded by donations
New stories emerge where life becomes easier again. Your donation is someone's best hour of the week
Loneliness has less of an impact on health. You support something simple but powerful — human presence nearby
There are more of these meetings in your area. The programme finds more ‘like-minded people’
