Community Friends

Community Friends is a befriending project working under The Pipeline Youth Initiative and in partnership with organisations such as Orbit Housing. It is for those aged 18 and over experiencing social isolation and loneliness due to a variety of reasons. Individuals are helped through a befriender to engage in their local community and social activities, facilitating them to form and develop new connections.

Within the project there are also opportunities for volunteer befrienders who are willing to regularly provide 2 hours per week, or even 2 hours per fortnight, to form a friendly and trusting relationship with those referred to the service.
