Mike Niles, founder of b:friend
I believe the work we do is so important because we see day in day out, when they have a befriender, and when they get involved in some of the things we do, there’s a change in their psyche. They now know someone loves them and looks out for them and just wants to know they’re well.
Our Charity of the Year
Over 9 million people in the UK will say they are often or always lonely. And with loneliness increasing the likelihood of mortality by a staggering 26%, we can’t sit back and ignore this. The charity has taken matters into their own hands and are growing a community of volunteer befrienders who pledge to visit a socially isolated older neighbour near them for one hour per week for a cuppa and a chat. On the way back from work, the shops, dropping the kids at school – whenever is convenient for both parties, a befriender will spend an hour just chatting, listening and supporting someone that otherwise may have no one. It’s just an hour out of their day, but it can make a world of difference.
