Birmingham Deaf Befriending Service
Our Befriending Service supports D/deaf and hard of hearing people across Birmingham who are feeling lonely and isolated.
We provide a friendly face, someone to talk to and practical support such as help with accessing digital information or getting out of the house for a while. Our befriending team offer one to one support as well as access to local social groups.
Our Volunteer Befrienders provide support through:
- Visiting someone at home.
- Regular video 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? Please contact us.
Would you like to be a Volunteer Befriender?
Can you spare an hour a week or more? Would you like to support someone to become less isolated and lonely? If so, you could become a Volunteer Befriender and make a positive difference to someone’s life.
Training will be provided and travel expenses are covered whilst volunteering.
