About this opportunity
Kingdom Companions aims to support adults who are facing social isolation and/or struggling with their confidence in the community, through short-term goal-specific befriending.
A befriending service for adults experiencing isolation and loneliness, Kingdom Companions aims to support individuals to achieve a goal for themselves. This might be getting back into the community, attending social groups, travelling independently, or getting involved in volunteering.
Volunteers are asked to provide friendly, relaxed, practical, and encouraging support to the adult on a one-to-one, regular basis for 4-6 months. It will usually be within the community but may include visiting the home of the supported adult.
There are roles all over Fife for community befrienders who have a couple of hours a week/fortnight to help someone with this. Could this be you? Befriending can be a terrific way to build confidence and skills for jobs such as social care, as well as increasing your confidence, helping someone – which can feel very fulfilling, and perhaps going to new places or trying new activities.
Your travel and other out-of-pocket expenses will be reimbursed. FVA aim to match you with someone who lives in your local area.
You will get detailed training, as well as ongoing support. Get in touch now!
