What is a Befriending or Companionship Service?

Our Befriending service is designed to support individuals living in the community of Stoke On Trent, Staffordshire and beyond who may be experiencing social isolation.

Loneliness is increasingly recognised as a significant public health issue, with profound implications for both physical and mental health. Our befriending service addresses this by pairing care workers with individuals in need of companionship. Through regular interaction our befrienders provide emotional support and build lasting relationships. Befriending not only alleviates feelings of loneliness but also contributes positively to the overall well-being of participants.

Our companionship service goes beyond basic care tasks and focuses on creating meaningful connections. It involves matching the individual with a care worker who shares similar interests, allowing for a more personal and engaging experience. The care worker is not only there to listen but also actively participates in activities that interest the individual.

Respect is at the core of this service. Our care workers understands the importance of preserving dignity and privacy while providing companionship care. They create a safe space for individuals to reminisce and share any information about their history, fostering a sense of connection and belonging.
