Would you like to work with children and young people? BeFriends is recruiting adult volunteers who have a few hours a week to spare for our one-to-one befriending. A registered charity established in 1981, BeFriends works with 5 to 25-year-olds who live in Dundee and are experiencing difficulties in their lives and are often socially isolated, vulnerable or disadvantaged. Our one-to-one BeFrienders support a young person with whom they have been matched. During regular meetings, the befriender offers the opportunity for their young person to chat and have fun, while building confidence and self-esteem as they take part in community activities together. If you have time to offer to support a child or young person and you would like a new challenge, then why not become a Volunteer Befriender with BeFriends? You do not need to have experience of working with 5-to-25-year-olds, but it is important to have empathy, the ability to engage and a non-judgemental approach to understanding the issues that affect young lives. BeFriends provides volunteers with full training, induction, and on-going support.
