Information for Volunteers
BAAS Befriending aims to put the Befriendee in the centre of the service. We spend time getting to know the Befriendee, find out their likes and dislikes, where they want to go, what they want to be, and then we match you with a trained and DBS checked volunteer and hopefully, a friendship will be created! It sounds easy, and we know it isn’t always just as easy as that! This is why we have a dedicated Volunteer Co-ordinator who will support both the Volunteer Befriender and Befriendee during every step of the process.
