LINK is once again seeking volunteers for the Adolescent Befriending Project. If you can spare a couple of hours a fortnight and would like to help young people (12-18) who have become isolated due to mental health issues, LINK would love to hear from you.
LINK works with marginalised, isolated 12-18 year olds in East Fife and Levenmouth with mental health issues. We aim to assist the young people to increase their resilience, confidence, social skills and self esteem through the support of a consistent and reliable befriender.
