To provide a matched trained befriender to an individual over the age of 18 with mental ill health.


Current opportunities

Do you have an hour or two to support someone with mental ill health in Caithness? Full training and support for volunteers who can offer 1 hour per week to meet up with their 'friend'. This is a confidential, non judgemental supported friendship [ no home visiting]

This is a flexible opportunity to volunteer from home. You will be trained to support someone with mental ill health or memory difficulties by completing 4 modules with the help of the local coordinator. After training you need to commit to regular contact which could be as little as 20/30 minutes per week. As a distance volunteer you can chose to email, write or telephone someone facing isolation. All correspondence is conducted through a secure system to protect both parties in the befriending relationship. This is a confidential, non judgemental supported friendship [ no home visiting] Please note that unfortunately you need to be resident in the Highland Area as this charity is funded to provide a service within this catchment area.
