The National Lottery Community Fund Scotland and Berwickshire Housing Association (BHA) fund the BeFriend project to help people who live in Berwickshire and Kelso who are over the age of 65 to maintain social connections and engage with their local communities.
BeFriend does this by providing the opportunity to join in with community befriending groups. These groups are a great place to make friends, get out and about, and get active.
Community befriending is involved in some regular activities including shopping trips, community lunches, musical events and other events such as seated Yoga, new age kurling, and boccia.
BeFriend can also offer 1 -2 -1 befriending, this is where an individual is matched with a volunteer who may visit or telephone befriend someone regularly.
