Volunteers provide quality one to one time on a regular basis and are there to listen, to talk and support adults and parents who are part of Hopscotch, Space4U and Tayside Council on Alcohol services. Volunteers role as a befriender/parent buddy is to help parents and adults to access leisure and recreational opportunities, focus on building the adults confidence and resilience as well as reducing their isolation, encouraging them to get more involved in the local community and to build up a happy family life.
Befriending activities vary according to the service user needs. For example, some of the individuals need support to go to an activity in the community and some individuals need someone to talk to one to one.

They will also support the whole family to engage in recreational and social activities together, helping them to access local leisure services and activities in their local area.

All volunteers will go through a joint induction process and be open up to both organisations allowing options for befriender opportunities-great opportunity if you are looking at building up experience with children and young people.
