Referrals

We require a referral form to be submitted for all new clients. Referrals can be made by professional organisations, individuals and even self-referrals.

Clients must be aged 65 or over and experiencing some form of loneliness or isolation.

Bute Elderly Befrienders involves volunteers in all aspects of our service. Whether you have been a volunteer in the past or have never volunteered before, we are certain that we can find a role to suit you. Volunteers receive full training and support and all out-of-pocket expenses will be met.

From 1-2-1 Befriending to Peer Support, Out & About activities to Dementia Support - we pride ourselves in providing a service tailored to the individual needs of our clients.

We believe that older people should have the opportunity to access their communities whatever their circumstances.
