💙 Power of Youth Day 2026 💙
Today, on Power of Youth Day, we’re celebrating the incredible impact of our Young Befrienders from Monifieth High School.
Each week throughout their 6th year, our young volunteers give up an hour of their time to visit an older person in our community, offering companionship, conversation, laughter, and friendship.
What starts as a volunteering opportunity often becomes something much more meaningful. Stories are shared, confidence grows, friendships flourish, and many connections continue long beyond the school year. 💬✨
Our Young Befrienders gain valuable life experience, develop communication and empathy skills, and make a real difference to someone’s life, while our older Friends enjoy companionship, connection, and the joy of getting to know the next generation.
Power of Youth Day recognises the leadership, compassion, and positive impact young people have in communities across the UK, and today we want to say a huge THANK YOU to all of our Young Befrienders for the kindness, care, and energy they bring to Monifieth Befrienders. 💙
