About Us

Befrienders Highland is a registered charity employing a small core staff of five (two full time staff and three part-time). The direction and management of Befrienders Highland are guided by a board of Directors and Management Committee, all unpaid volunteers. We also work with an ever increasing number of volunteers, all of whom give their time, efforts and kindness selflessly and without whom Befrienders Highland would not be the success it is nor would we able to offer the service we do.
