Southern Befrienders

Southern Befrienders A Manx charity that provides companionship to older people in the south of the Island with volunteer befrienders, outings and social events.

The Southern Befrienders provides a befriending service for the elderly people in the Southern communities of the Isle of Man. Social isolation and loneliness exist in later years, and the impact of both is complex and crippling. This charity consists of local people offering their time voluntarily to visit and provide supportive friendships. We need your help; any offer of help is valuable! Join

us & grow a friendship with an elderly person or get involved in raising the funds to sustain this very necessary & very valued scheme
