BeFriends Dundee BeFriends is a Dundee based young person's charity (Scottish Charity No. SC022565).

http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/befriends-40-challenge

BeFriends is a Dundee based charity and was established in 1981, since then we have provided help and support to thousands of vulnerable and disadvantaged children in the Dundee area. BeFriends acts as a resource for vulnerable/disadvantaged children aged 5-25 providing them with a One-to-One Befriending Service. Through support from befrienders and by participating in fun activities/experiences we:

* Make a positive change in the lives of the children and young people

* Raise the children and young people’s aspirations and help them realise their full potential

* Build upon the children's key skills and abilities helping them develop into confident and capable individuals

* Enhance the children and young people’s personal, social and communication skills

* Encourage the children and young people to take responsibility for their behaviour and actions and support them to make positive choices that can reshape their future

* Increase the children and young people’s participation in city wide and local activities

Mission Statement:
​
Through volunteers, BeFriends offers befriending support to disadvantaged local children and young people, developing their life skills and improving their well-being.
