I think the service is very worthwhile. In this case, the Befriender worked extremely hard to find common ground, and this was to the Young Persons benefit.

‘E’ has benefited from having a befriender and seems to have enjoyed the experience. She appears to be quite confident about progressing to high school.

This has been hugely beneficial. It has given her an opportunity ‘just for her’. She enjoyed time with her befriender and always looked forward to it.

My experience with the Project has been entirely positive and the young people I work with have all developed new skills and widen their social experiences.

S has been able to access social/leisure activities which she would otherwise not have assessed. Activities such as going for a meal or to the supermarket may seem like everyday activities but S has a very limited exposure to these and having a Befriender has opened up these opportunities for her. S has benefitted from having another adult to talk to rather than just her mum. It has started to extend her social network.

As I always say, your project has such a positive impact on the lives of young people. The Volunteer Coordinators go above and beyond with the young people and it is such a positive experience.

M has had so much fun and support, to take part in activities offered by your service. She has blossomed with the Befrienders support. She has experienced opportunities that she would not have been able to without your project. I have no doubt that this has had a massive positive impact on M. As a wonderful time well not be forgotten.

I think the Befriending Service does an excellent job in providing alternatives for young people to show them that there are possibilities and that there is hope. The links with the school are invaluable and attendance at Child’s Meetings is hugely appreciated.
