Befriending Service

Our befriending service supports Deaf, hard of hearing and deafblind people across the West Midlands who are feeling lonely and isolated.

Our volunteer befrienders can provide support through:

• visiting someone at home for a chat and company
• weekly video calls, telephone calls, texts or emails
• going for a local walk together
• accompanying someone to join local clubs, groups and activities

Would you like to receive our support? Know someone who would benefit from receiving support through our befriending service?
