It’s befriending week! And here at BuDDies we will be posting throughout the week about ‘everything befriending’ using the hashtag .
Volunteering as a befriender can be hugely rewarding and has many benefits, such as the opportunity to gain new knowledge and skills, exploring your future options and making a real difference to someone’s life. Our volunteers BuDDies have access to training, support, and a community of likeminded people. Many of our volunteer BuDDies have formed professional working relationships through volunteering with us and we have supported our volunteer BuDDies to reach their personal goals, whether that be work experience, developing communication skills or meeting new people. Becoming a volunteer befriender can be immensely rewarding, but don’t take our word for it! Zahra is one of our volunteer BuDDies, so take a look at what she has to say. If you think you have what it takes to become a volunteer BuDDy and you would like more information on the role, please contact volunteering@buds.org.uk for more information.
