Can you be a friend to the children and young people we support? If so we need you for laughter, commitment, caring, sharing and adventure!
Unit 2 Befriending Service is based in Cornton, Stirling and supports children and young people throughout Stirlingshire. We befriend young people aged between 8-16 years old who may be going through a difficult period in their lives and we would like YOU to join our expanding befriending team as a volunteer.
Befriending is a relationship between a volunteer and a young person, which is initiated, supported and monitored by the befriending staff team. The aim of the service is to enhance the quality of a young person’s life by supporting and promoting their welfare and personal development through the involvement in shared activities, i.e. 1:1 befriending, paired or group activities, with a volunteer befriender.
To be a befriender you will need:
To be over 18 years of age
A genuine interest in the well-being of children and young people
A few hours to spare each week
Reliability and discretion
You will receive:
Free informal training
Ongoing support
Out-of-pocket expenses
