ALT A graphic by Share Community that reads: What is a befriender? A befriender is a volunteer who provides companionship to someone who may be experiencing loneliness or social isolation. Through regular one-to-one meet-ups, befrienders offer friendship, emotional support, and a listening ear to those who need it.

ALT A graphic by Share Community that reads: What happens at a meet-up? At Share, each volunteer befriender is paired up with one of our students. They’ll usually meet once a week for 1-2 hours. Activities are chosen by our students and agreed upon with you. You might go for a coffee, a walk around the park, or even on a shopping trip!

ALT A graphic by Share Community that reads: How does befriending help? Befriending gives our students the chance to make connections outside of their immediate support bubble. Through regular social interactions, students can build on their communication skills and grow their self-confidence. It also encourages them to get out and about and explore their local community.
