Guildford Community Angels

Guildford Community Angels Community Angels are volunteer befrienders who support adults of all ages in Guildford struggling with loneliness and isolation.

We give weekly one-to-one support, offering a listening, non-judgemental ear, companionship and encouragement to engage with the local community. The people we support face loneliness for many and varied reasons, and our befriending is personalised to meet their individual needs. If you have a couple of spare hours a week, we’d love to hear from you to discuss whether volunteering with Community A

ngels would be a good fit for you. We’ll provide all the training you need, match you carefully and appropriately with someone to befriend, and offer ongoing volunteer support and learning opportunities. If you or a loved one are struggling with loneliness and isolation, please get in touch. Our volunteers are ready to help.

Thanks to all our Angels & Chaplains who volunteer week by week, caring for people on the streets, in their homes and where they work. πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

As a team, we aim to walk around in male and female pairs wherever possible. This gives the people we meet the opportunity to speak with whichever team member they feel most comfortable with, especially if they're feeling vulnerable or upset.
From time to time, people enjoying a night out will approach us because they're feeling threatened or uncomfortable due to the behaviour of someone they don't know. In those moments, we're there to listen, offer reassurance, and help them stay safe. Whether that means helping them reconnect with friends, arranging safe transport, or simply staying with them until they feel secure, our priority is making sure everyone has a safe way home. πŸ˜‡β€οΈ

Great to hear such stories from the streets of Guildford.

A lovely moment from last Saturday night. ❀️
We were stopped on the streets by a young man who wanted to thank our team for helping him on a previous night out when he became unwell. A space blanket, wipes, some TLC, and help getting home safely made a real difference.
It's always encouraging to hear how our volunteers are making a difference to our community, week after week. πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜‡
We'll be out again this weekendβ€”say hello if you see us!

Thank you to all our volunteers, making a positive difference to others every week. πŸ™πŸ˜‡

In Mental Health Awareness week we are delighted that our volunteer projects fit in so well with this years theme of taking action:
"This Mental Health Awareness Week we’re asking people to join us in taking action to support good mental health. Even small actions can help us feel hopeful and less powerless. And while our individual actions matter, when we come together we are even more powerful." Mental Health Foundation. πŸ˜‡β€οΈπŸ™πŸ»
