Kincardine & Deeside Befriending
Charity registered in Scotland SC032594
K & D Befriending is a local registered charity which aims to reduce social isolation and loneliness in older people throughout Kincardine and Deeside area by matching them on a one-to-one basis with a volunteer befriender. A regular visit from a befriender can provide companionship, practical and emotional support, and generally improve physical and mental wellbeing; in many cases, a carer also benefits from the welcome respite provided.
Current opportunity
Our befrienders come from all walks of life. They range from 18 to 80+ and include students, parents of young children, part time and full time workers while some are retired.
Whatever your background or circumstances you can befriend if:
You like talking to others
You are able to listen
You have a couple of hours each week/fortnight that you would enjoy spending with an older person
