b:friend

b:friend provides 1:1 support for older people, anyone aged 65+, struggling with loneliness and social isolation. Older neighbours are matched with a volunteer befriender who commits to visiting once a week for a cuppa and a natter. If you would like to refer someone to b:friend you can do so via the secure form at our website - https://cloud.letsbfriend.org.uk/make-referral/bfriend/

Our befriending is available to anyone aged 65+, living alone and without a diagnosis which requires specialist support. for example, someone living with a diagnosis of dementia. Our volunteering is open to anyone aged 18+ with hour a week to spare - https://cloud.letsbfriend.org.uk/volunteer-signup/bfriend/

b:friend offers social clubs in varying locations throughout Doncaster. We do something different each week - guest speakers, arts and crafts, quizzes, physically active sessions, original session designed by the team and more! All older adults welcome. No need to book a place.
