    Befriending Networks have launched the Befriending Networks Strategic Plan 2024-29.

    They envisage a society where quality befriending support is available to everyone who needs it and where meaningful connection is recognised as important. They know that befriending changes lives and strengthens communities because every day they hear life-changing stories of human connection, made possible by dedicated volunteers, compassionate coordinators, and resilient befriending services.

    They understand that their members are operating during challenging times, with increased operational costs, competition for funding, declining trends in volunteering, and a greater level of need in our communities. So, their network has never been more vital, ensuring that all members have access to the support they need for good practice, to manage challenges, and to find connection with each other. Their members have directly informed this new plan, including sharing views in the annual membership survey.  

    With a renewed mission and clear values, this strategic plan sets our direction for the next five years, which gives priority to delivery with and for their members. They remain accountable to them and are committed to providing opportunities for member engagement to inform and shape our services. 

    You can download the new Strategic Plan in their Resources section or read it online via Heyzine.
