"I don't know where I would be without my befriender...."
​

One in four of us experience emotional distress at some time in our lives, and some times the only only treatment required is having a sympathetic ear and someone to talk to.

​We  are a small voluntary organisation operating in parts of North Somerset and Bath & North East Somerset (Chew Valley and Keynsham in particular).

​We support individuals and their families, who have mental health problems or are experiencing emotional distress. Those referred are allocated a befriender who visits or phones on a regular basis, at times to suit both the befriender and person visited.

​
We need your help!

We are currently looking to recruit new befrienders in the Chew valley and Keynsham areas.

We are very flexible and befrienders and their befriendee are free to establish their own routine.

Our volunteers are fully trained in the skills required to become a confident befriender. The most important skill however is the ability to listen and empathise with the befriendee.
​
All training and expenses, such as travel costs are covered by our organisation.
