Befriending Service
About Knutsford Together
At Knutsford Together we support adults living in the WA16 postcode area, offering bespoke 1:1 Support, weekly Talking Café and Wellbeing Walk, assistance accessing services or benefits and companionship. We have helped many people to re-enter into society after life changing events.
We are proud to be launching our Befriending Service in November 2025. Our volunteers will be matched to clients who are unable or restricted in getting out of their home, with the aim of providing real human connection, reducing loneliness and isolation, whilst boost wellbeing and sense of worth.
Service Eligibility
We support adults over 18 who live in the WA16 postcode area covering Knutsford, Moibberley, Tabley, High Legh, Plumley and Peover. Referrals can be made through our website www.knutsfordtogether.org.uk, by emailing befriending@knutsfordtogether.org.uk or contacting our Befriending Lead on 07473 787 599
Information for Volunteers
We’re looking for friendly and caring people to join our team as Volunteer Befrienders. You’ll offer support to members of the Knutsford community who are feeling isolated or lonely and struggle to get out of their home
All you need is a warm, friendly personality and a little spare time. No experience is needed – we provide full training and ongoing support to help you feel confident in the role. You’ll meet with one or two clients regularly, roughly once a fortnight for an hour or two at the client’s home, or you might take them out – perhaps to a garden centre or for a coffee. It’s all about offering companionship, sharing time together, and helping someone feel more connected.
If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you! Contact our Befriending Service Lead, Alison Chew, on 07473 787 599 or email befriending@knutsfordtogether.org.uk
