About this opportunity

Kingdom Abuse Survivors Project (KASP) is currently recruiting Befrienders to support adults in Fife who are affected by childhood sexual trauma.

As a Befriender, you’ll provide a vital connection, reducing loneliness and helping individuals build confidence, improve client’s well-being, and support in accessing local services. You’ll also help individuals reconnect with their community.
They’re looking for volunteers who are empathetic, non-judgmental, and can commit to at least 1 hour per week. In return, you’ll receive training in child and adult protection and trauma informed practices, ongoing support and supervision, and reimbursement for any expenses incurred during your time with clients.
