BefriendingAbout Age UK North Tyneside
Our Befriending service offers vital emotional support to vulnerable or isolated adults over 50. Customers can access the service through self-referral, or by a family member or professional by completing a referral form. They will then be matched with a friendly, trained volunteer befriender who visits or calls them every week for at least six months. The arrangement is based on friendship, and no payment is involved.
