From March 2020, in line with Public Health and Scottish and UK Government advice, all face to face befriending and group meetings have temporarily been suspended to safeguard our staff, friends and volunteers from the Coronavirus Covid-19. Until this advice changes, we will continue to offer our befriending services at a distance, by telephone, post or email to keep everyone safe and well supported. Our main office telephone, 01463 712 791 will be monitored remotely, and your call will be answered as soon as possible.
