Befriending in Camden
Posted On: Thursday 28th May

Location: Camden, London
Befrienders are needed by Volunteer Centre Camden. Once matched with a befriendee with mental health issues, you will be meeting for about an hour a week for a 6-month period. You will decide together what activities you do. For example, you could go for a bike ride, have a coffee, visit an exhibition and much more. Some people may just need the company and be happy to meet and chat.
We match men with men and women with women and always have a waiting list of men. All applicants are welcome but we are particularly in need of male befrienders.
You will need to be a good listener and able to make conversation. Reliability and being open-minded are also important. We are keen to recruit befrienders with personal experience of mental health issues.
The next training workshops begin on 17th June. Please contact Diana on Diana@camdenvb.org.uk
