Amber Valley CVS Befriending Service
Successful Befriending Match
Befrienders beat Loneliness
No special qualifications are required
to volunteer as a Befriender, just the ability to listen and to show an interest
in someone else’s life.
We recognise that social
isolation can occur for a variety of reasons and accept referrals for people who
are elderly, have learning difficulties or a mental health problem.
Referrals are made to the scheme by:
A professional involved in the care of the
person, e.g, a social worker, care worker, doctor or family member or a
representative of a voluntary organisation.
