Befriending

What does it do?

The Good Neighbour Scheme offers Home Visiting Befriending to support older individuals who live in Hull and the East Riding. Our Volunteer Befrienders provide regular friendship visits with the aim of reducing the feelings of social isolation and loneliness. 

Our Telephone Befriending service aims to reduce loneliness for people aged 50 or over. Our trained Befrienders provide a regular, friendly phone call to help reduce feelings of isolation and rebuild confidence.
