Befriending

ENeRGI is one of a range of organisations that provides befriending support for people in Fife with health issues and their carers who may be experiencing loneliness and social isolation.  Funded by Fife Health and Social Care Partnership we aim to provide social support to increase community involvement and enable people to build relationships.  We do this by providing initiatives such as a weekly Womens' Group and Mens' Group,  programmes of social activities and one to one volunteer matching.

Befriending for you

Befriending and you

• Someone caring and respectful to talk to.
• Someone to try new activities with.
• Someone to listen to what you say.
• Help you reconnect with your local community.
• Whether it is making new friends or using public transport, enjoying art galleries or attending a new group or perhaps just a cuppa and a chat, befriending can help make a difference to feeling of loneliness and isolation.
• Our service focuses on positives rather than on difficulties.

• Our Befriending Coordinator will be glad to tell you more about the project.
• If you feel you could benefit from the project call us today and our Befriending Coordinator will arrange to meet you and discuss what you want to achieve or change.
• All our services are tailored to each individual.

Volunteering is a fantastic way to make a difference to the life of someone else.  It can also be an incredible opportunity to enhance your own life and build new skills and relationships.

Do you have any spare time?
Do you want to work with people?
Are you interested in mental health?

ENeRGI is seeking volunteer befrienders from young people wanting to gain work experience to retired people who have knowledge, experience and life skills.  Expenses and full training and support will be provided.  Call ENeRGI today to make a difference to someone's life.
