This service provides carers with the opportunity to be linked with a volunteer befriender who will offer companionship and support by visiting on a regular basis, accompanying the carer on outings, perhaps to the shops or out for a coffee, and to formal meetings or appointments. A befriending service is also available for young carers. The Project includes men, women and young carer groups that organise regular outings.
