One-to-One Befriending
Our One-to-One Befriending service supports older adults who are experiencing loneliness or social isolation and would benefit from regular, friendly contact with a dedicated volunteer.
How It Works:
-
Capacity & Initial Visit:
When a referral is made and our inclusion criteria are met, the person is placed on our list. A member of our team will schedule a home visit as soon as volunteer capacity becomes available. During this visit, we get to know their interests, answer any questions, and explain how befriending works in detail.
-
Deciding to Move Forward:
Following the home visit, we will contact the person to confirm if they feel comfortable and would like to proceed with receiving regular visits from a volunteer.
-
Matching:
If they wish to go ahead, we carefully pair them with a suitable volunteer befriender based on shared interests, personality, and location to build a meaningful, long-lasting friendship.
Group Befriending
We host several regular befriending groups across Motherwell, offering a warm and welcoming space for local older adults to gather, connect, and stay active in their community.
What Our Groups Offer:
-
Social Connection: A relaxed environment to meet local peers, share stories, and make new friends.
-
Community Activities: Opportunities to take part in fun group activities, outings, and local events.
-
Peer Support: A supportive network where members look out for one another, build confidence, and share experiences.
