Be-Side is the umbrella brand for a range of befriending services for the over 60s, designed to improve the quality of life for people who may be feeling lonely or in some way excluded from community life.
We provide telephone, one-to-one and group befriending opportunities. We will meet with the person being referred, find out about their interests and needs and then match them with a trained volunteer befriender. We keep in touch with both the Befriender and Befriendee regularly to see that everything is going well.
On occasion we can provide a befriender for a one-off or short term purpose such as to help after hospital discharge or as a respite sitter.
