Our Norfolk Befriending Service aims to offer an inclusive, trusted service that links volunteers with unpaid carers to help reduce loneliness and isolation, build confidence and improve wellbeing.

We look to match people who share similar hobbies and interests, enabling both parties to benefit from the service.

Any carer looking after someone can be referred if the person seeking befriending is able to manage well day-to-day, is interested in building a relationship with a new person and would benefit from company and conversation. 

Please note, the Befriending Service is not a replacement for paid care. Our volunteers cannot assist with mobility, personal care or with administering medication and all referrals will be subject to assessment and evaluation of risk.

If you would like to refer yourself or a family member or friend, or if you are referring someone in a professional capacity, then please complete the relevant form below to register your interest.

If you are making a referral on behalf of someone else, we just ask that consent has been gained from the person in question.
