Voluntary Action South West Surrey

We are a local befriending service connecting volunteers with isolated people for friendship and support in the Busbridge and Hambledon areas. 

Loneliness and social isolation has become a huge problem in our nation and on a local level. It can affect people of all ages but perhaps the most vulnerable are our ageing population who may have:

• Problems getting out of the house due to poor mobility
• Health concerns meaning they need more help
• Family who may have moved away, or work full-time
• Loved ones who may have died

Through the Befriending Network we hope that you as volunteers can help us achieve our aim of tackling this issue through friendship, support and social activities with your befriender on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
