šŸŽ‰ A big thank you and well done to everyone who has completed our new volunteer befriender training!

Here’s just some of the lovely people who joined us, proudly showing off their certificates 🧔 Thanks so much for giving your time and bringing so much enthusiasm to the sessions.

We’re always looking for volunteers who can offer a listening ear. Our next training will take place at the end of January, and we’d love to hear from you if you think befriending could be for you🩵

What a great day we had yesterday! šŸ§šŸŽƒ

Our young people got stuck into baking and decorating cakes, designing their own aprons and a wee bit of Halloween crafting toošŸ˜

A huge thank you to Just Jess who was amazing with our young people and made everyone feel so welcome. They had such a lovely time, and we really appreciated all the care and effort you put into the day šŸ’œ

Baking, getting creative and spending time together… a lovely way to start the October holidays! 😊

What a brilliant Saturday at Bfriend! 🩵🧔

We welcomed our newest bunch of volunteers for the first part of our updated training programme, and what a lovely bunch they are! Lots of great conversations, questions, laughter and enthusiasm.

We’ve given our training a fresh, modern update, with plenty of opportunities to get involved, share ideas and learn together. We’re also trying a new format, delivering it over a day and a half instead of spreading it across four weeks.

A huge thank you to our new volunteers for giving up their Saturday, and to our fab team for all the hard work that went into developing the new programme & bringing it all together😊

Our next training sessions will take place in February. If you’re interested in being a befriender and making a difference to a young person’s life, please send us a message.

🧔Did you know Bfriend is a charity?🧔
We’re not sure everyone realises that Bfriend is a charity and we rely heavily on grants and charitable funding to keep our service running.

For 30 years, we’ve quietly got on with our work in the background, creating experiences and building relationships that make a huge difference in children and young people's lives. We haven’t always been good at shouting about everything we do…but we think it’s time that changed.

Grants aren’t guaranteed, and we would love more local people, community groups and businesses to get involved in helping us continue this work. That’s why we’re getting ready to launch our new "Friends of Bfriend" fundraising campaign! šŸŽ‰

Over the coming months, we’ll be making a bit more noise about our work, sharing more of our impact and showing just how much goes into keeping our service going.

We’ll be sharing lots of fun and simple ideas for how you, your workplace or your business could raise money for Bfriend - from dress-down days and sponsored challenges to coffee mornings, raffles and choosing us as your Charity of the Year.

No amount raised is ever too small. Every donation helps us create more opportunities, happy memories and supportive relationships for local children and young people.

If you or your business would like to support Bfriend, raise money for us or have an idea, please send us a message here or email [email protected]
And even if you can’t fundraise, sharing this post will help more people discover who we are and what we do.

This week the team have been at the Freshers Fayres at Ayr College and Kilmarnock College, chatting to lots of lovely people about volunteering with Bfriend šŸ’™

It was great to meet so many students and tell them a bit about what we do and the difference a befriender can make to a child or young person.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped for a chat, asked questions or signed up to find out more, it was lovely to meet you all!

We’re always looking for good people who can give a wee bit of their time, have some fun and be that constant person in a young person’s life.

If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, give us a shout. We’d love to hear from you🧔[email protected]

Raising a teen can be a challenge. It’s not unusual for teens to feel anxious, to have mood swings and to feel isolated. Sometimes they don’t even know why they’re feeling or acting the way they do, which makes it all the harder to understand what they’re going through. But there are things you can do to help.
