Befriending Service

Reconnect Befriending Project

Reconnect 'befriending' project is a volunteer led service that aims to combat loneliness and isolation. Our volunteer befrienders are locally recruited and have undertaken a bespoke volunteer and training programme.

Reconnect offer free telephone friendship services so you can enjoy chatting with someone over the phone, all from the comfort of your own home.

Whether you’d like to speak to someone every week, or just want to talk when the need strikes, Reconnect volunteers are here to help.

In addition to our telephone friendship service Reconnect can offer Face-to-face befriending that may involve a volunteer visiting an older person in their home, perhaps for a cup of tea and a chat, or accompanying them to an activity (such as a trip to a cafe or a doctor's appointment).

If you would like some support or if you know of someone who would benefit from the support we offer please contact us on the number below.

The DCFA Befriending Service is deeply grateful for the generous support we have received from Neighbourly UK through the provision of surplus food. This contribution has significantly enhanced our capacity to assist individuals and families in our community, especially during these challenging times.

The surplus food provided by Neighbourly UK has been instrumental in alleviating food insecurity and bringing hope and comfort to many. Your generosity makes a positive and meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve, and we truly appreciate your partnership.

We are honored to be the recipients of Neighbourly UK's support and look forward to continuing our collaboration to uplift and support those in need. Your kindness and commitment to helping others inspire us, and we are thankful for your ongoing support.

Thank you, Neighbourly UK, for your invaluable contribution to our community.
