Befriending Service
Do you know anyone who is socially isolated and registered with your agency or practice? If so, we can help!
We are developing a new Befriending Service with weekly on-going support to help people into our groups and activities. We will offer phone calls, face-to-face visits, and accompanied visits to group activities for adults who are experiencing social isolation and are living in: Harehills, Chapeltown, Lincoln Green, Burmantofts, Gipton, Seacroft, Richmond Hill, Holbeck, Middleton, Beeston, Bramley, and Armley areas.
If you would like to make a referral to this project or for more information, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator on volunteer@beingyouleeds.org.uk or call 0113 248 4880 for more information or a referral form.
