Befriending Networks Ltd

About

We are the network for befriending organisations. Established as a charity in 1994, we have thirty years of experience in supporting and connecting befriending services. Our members form the largest network of befriending services in the world. We provide access to sector-specific training, events, resources, and awards which support quality in befriending. Each year we coordinate Befriending Week from the 1st – 7th November. Our vision is of a society where quality befriending support is available to everyone who needs it, and the importance of meaningful connection is recognised. As the network for befriending organisations, we’re the intermediary between our members, supporters and stakeholders. We work collaboratively and inclusively to connect and strengthen the befriending sector. We support organisations to deliver quality befriending services that promote wellbeing and meaningful connections, ensuring that everyone feels valued.
