About Beith Community Development Trust

We offer a telephone befriending service for people in North Ayrshire that are isolated within their community. We offer a weekly phone call for people to discuss how their life is going ‘ a chance to blether about your favourite soaps, hobbies and interests or just day to day chit chat’.We can sign post people to services and groups which would have a positive impact and can bring people together at social events throughout the year.
