For local people

Getting a befriender

How to be matched with a volunteer befriender in Fife, whether for yourself or for somebody you know.

Befriending puts a person in touch with a volunteer who visits or calls regularly, for company, a chat, a walk, or help to get out to a local group. FVA runs Kingdom Companions, a short-term befriending service for adults in Fife who feel lonely or isolated and would like support to get back into their community. You can refer yourself, or a relative, friend or client, using the referral form on that page.

Other organisations in Fife run befriending for particular groups, including older people, carers, young people and people who have recently arrived in Scotland. See the list of befriending services, or search the directory.
