Family Friends Training Days

Could you dedicate two hours a week to befriend a parent or mentor a child

Everything you need to know

Who volunteers?

Family Friends' volunteers come from a wide range of backgrounds and they are selected for their qualities of warmth, empathy and understanding. They use our training and their commitment and life experiences to become a supportive friend or mentor. In addition to finding it very rewarding and gaining the benefit of learning some new skills, many use their experience of volunteering with us to help develop their own careers.  Our volunteers recognise the importance of reliability, confidentiality and trust.  

Programme - have you got what it takes?
