Important update:
Befriending service sign-ups now on hold
Thank you for your interest in joining our befriending service at The Brain Charity. We are sorry, but we cannot take on any new requests at this time.
Meanwhile, here are some other services that you may benefit from:
- Sense has a virtual buddying service for people with disabilities.
- Epilepsy UK has a befriending service.
- Age UK have a national telephone befriending service for older people.
- Befriending networks has a whole directory of befriending services too that can be quite helpful.
Why the pause?
Due to funding restrictions and the high number of sign-ups, we are temporarily pausing new registrations to ensure we can effectively support and match our current participants.
Our commitment is to provide a quality and supportive experience for everyone involved. To maintain our high standards, we need to take some time to integrate our recent sign-ups and ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve.
Please note that our befrienders are not trained in mental health support. For counselling and therapy, we have a separate service.
