Try something new today, Make somebody Smile!!

Our befrienders can make a huge impact on a person's life, just by spending an hour a week in their company.  In their home, at a cafe, or out and about.

We were one of the first charities to receive The Kings Award in 2023.  The King's Award for our exceptional services.  Join our team, meet new friends, make a difference.

If you have an hour or two to spare every week, have a friendly attitude towards life, and enjoy the company of others, then this is an ideal opportunity for you. We need befrienders in the Starcross,Dawlish and Teignmouth areas to visit clients who are feeling lonely and isolated.  A car driver would be handy but not essential.

Client comme nt about her befriender -  'I love her to bits, she is like a daughter to me.  She has visited me since lockdown and we regularly meet up and go out.  Just a cup of tea, out and about, has a huge impact on my life.  I would normally be in my own house on my own'  She is a walking miracle to make the changes to my life that she has so far'

Times are flexible to fit in with your lifestyle.
