Befriending Week 01-07 November 2024
Created: 25/10/2024Befriending Week is the national campaign celebrating and raising awareness of befriending and the positive impact it has on individuals and communities.
During the week, they invite those in the befriending sector to reflect on their achievements over the previous year, thank volunteers and staff, celebrate their service users, and share their message with stakeholders, government and the public.
Befriending Week is also an opportunity to look into the future by raising awareness of how befriending helps to tackle isolation and create community connections, in-person and at a distance.
Befriending Week was established in 2012 by Befriending Networks, working in collaboration with our membership and strategic partners.
