About Share Community
Launched during lockdown to help relieve isolation, our volunteer befrienders visit people near their homes to go for a walk, a bike ride, a coffee, do some shopping or just have a chat.
Befrienders are carefully matched to those with similar interests, offering support and friendship.
How does befriending help?
It encourages communication, helping people improve their social skills and feel more self-confident.
It motivates people to get more exercise by getting out in the fresh air.
People feel less lonely, they make friends and have someone trusted to talk to.
Service Eligibility
The service is available to anyone who attends Share. Activities are chosen by student members and meetings are typically once a week for 1-2 hours.
