Do you have a little time to spare and could use a reason to get out of the house?
We’re looking for Volunteer Befrienders across all of Essex to brighten the lives of lonely and isolated people in our community. Just one hour a week can make the world of difference – a simple chat, a cup of tea, a friendly face.



It’s not just about giving – it’s about gaining too. New connections, new purpose, and a warm, fuzzy feeling you can’t get from scrolling reels or Netflix. 

If you’ve got a kind heart and a spare hour, we’d love to hear from you.Â
 Email us to find out more or tag someone who might be perfect! befriending@agewelleast.org.uk
