*Service Development

We currently offer 3 main Services but are looking to develop 2 additional services (Group Befriending and Peer Befriending).

 

All our services are free of charge as we believe everyone using our services should be entitled to an equal level of support and care, no matter what their financial situation.

 

We are only able to provide these vital services through the kindness of those who support us.

 

Traditionally, supporting Befrienders Highland has been done in a number of ways which includes volunteering, donating, and fundraising. This compassionate support has allowed Befrienders Highland to provide essential services to the Highland community for 30 years now and we appreciate and celebrate everyone who has been connected with us through this time.

 

As times change, we would like to offer new ways to support Befrienders Highland.

We understand there are many people who feel they are unable to volunteer, we also understand that many people want to be more involved with us than giving a one-off donation; they would like to be part of the team. Becoming a member of the Befrienders Highland Supporters Group allows you to get involved at the level that's right for you.

If you would like to become a member, we would ask a £3 donation per month, please call us on 01463 712 791, email info@befriendershighland.org.uk, or contact us.
