Are you feeling isolated or lonely due to your epilepsy? Our befriending service can help.

How does the Befriending Service work?

We match you with a like-minded volunteer befriender who will support you in taking part in social activities. These social activities can include:

• Sport/physical exercise
• Cultural outings and activities
• Eating out
• Informal learning opportunities
• Shopping

What does a befriender do?

Our Befrienders can provide support for you to gain confidence in social situations and to lead a more independent life. 

A Befriender is someone:

• who is friendly and approachable
• who will go out with you once a fortnight
• who will try new activities and see new places with you
• impartial to whom you can talk
