💜 Befriending Week: No One Should Feel Alone 💜
Did you know that 1 in 6 people in the world feel lonely? That’s roughly 1,388,465,363 people.
Loneliness can affect anyone, at any stage of life.
A friendly conversation, a listening ear, or a regular check-in can make a huge difference to someone's wellbeing.
During Befriending Week, we're celebrating the power of connection and the incredible impact that befriending services have in helping people feel seen, heard, and valued.
Whether it's reaching out to a neighbour, checking in on a friend, or supporting a local befriending service, every connection matters.
Let's work together to build a more connected and compassionate community where no one has to face loneliness alone.
