Street Friends Helping the Homeless Aberdeen is working towards a brighter future for homeless people, vulnerable and people in poverty.
With dignity Street Friends Helping the Homeless offer fresh chilled sandwiches and desserts as meals, food parcels for a few days, clothing, pet food, toiletries/condoms/sanitary products to those most in need as a result of homeless, poverty or vulnerable. We have established links with specialist services. When we befriend, we keep a note anonymously, on how people are doing, if they are in danger/emergency they are given immediate help. If they wish to progress we can use the referrals to get people to the correct professional service.
We offer kindness, empathy, friendship and safe choices if people wish to pursue them.
We are seeking kind, computer savvy people with a good telephone manner, interpersonal skills, team members, to assist us as Virtual Befriending Team Members providing support to homeless people. This is a work from home/virtual assistant, (phone/ PC access & broadband required). At times there will be zoom or alternative meetings. All help provided makes a difference for homeless people in Aberdeen and this is also an opportunity to gain positive experience and develop skills.
We have a full volunteer pathway with training opportunities and all help makes a real difference and is always greatly appreciated.
