Together Co – #BefriendingIs brightening everyone’s day!
27th September 2021
Together Co – Are a people-powered charity that creates connections to change all our lives for the better. You’ll find them working directly in Brighton and Hove. They’ve been supporting people to make life-changing connections for more than twenty years and they’ll keep doing so until everyone has someone they can count on.
Gigi and Josephine – a duo who have both experienced great benefits through their befriending match. Gigi didn’t know anyone when she moved from London to Brighton, and was experiencing isolation. She joined Together Co as a volunteer where she was matched with Josephine, who’s in her 90s and lives alone. Together, they take walks in the city, watch game shows, and chat about their lives and interests. Josephine says she would be sitting on her own all the time if Gigi didn’t visit, and looks forward to their meet-ups each week.
Let’s hear from Together Co’s Gigi and Josephine on their views on what #BefriendingIs!
