About Us
BEfriend is a registered charity established in 1994, providing one-to-one volunteer befriending to support socially isolated people in the West London boroughs of Ealing and Hounslow.
We work with local volunteers who give their time to connect with people who may otherwise go for weeks on end without having a conversation with anyone.
We believe that simple human connection can make a huge difference to physical and mental wellbeing.
Who we support
We support adults aged 18+ who find themselves isolated and are experiencing feelings of loneliness.
If you or someone you know:
- Lives in Ealing or Hounslow and is experiencing loneliness
- Does not have regular meaningful social contact (more than once a week)
Contact us today for more information.
Will you join us and become a Befriender?
Volunteering with BEfriend not only enriches the lives of those who are isolated, but also offers immense personal rewards.
Our volunteers befriend inspirational people with fascinating stories, develop new skills and become part of a supportive team that values compassion and connection.
Our outings and Volunteers meetings are a chance to socialise and have interesting discussions.
If you like the sound of this and can commit 1-2 hours per week to make a difference for someone who is socially isolated, why not volunteer?
You have the power to illuminate a life with warmth and companionship. Discover the joy of making a difference – become a BEfriend volunteer today.
