We successfully managed to gain re-accreditation for Quality in Befriending with Befriending Networks. Pictured below are the staff and trustees outside our new Banchory digs. We'd also like you to join us in welcoming Rebecca as our administrator.

The Quality Award is a process that requires significant effort, so achieving it is truly a recognition of our hard work and time invested.
