Friendship is the greatest human experience
- To feel that you matter to someone, and that they matter to you, puts you in a place of security and happiness better than anything else on earth.
- To enjoy a fine Spring morning or a glorious sunset is really great, but much greater when shared with a friend.
- For someone without friends to hand, the greatest gift one can give is the gift of friendship.
This is the basis of Befriending.
Sometimes one has particular needs———Someone to talk with, or to walk with, or to enjoy watching sport with, or to cook or do knitting with.
A St Davids Befriender can be all these things and more.
Befriending
Who needs a Befriender?
Anyone you know, or you yourself, when lack of companionship bears down.
Or when you need someone to do a bit of local shopping, or collect a prescription, or take the dog for a walk, or share the television with!
How does it work?
One of us Befrienders will listen to what you say, or call on you at home, and then find a friend, if you would like to go on with it, who you and we think might fit the bill. And the Friend can work through telephone calls, through visiting, through running errands for you, or whatever fits.
You can stop it at any time----- or carry on for months.
Are the Befrienders qualified?
All our Befrienders are vetted volunteers and have had a training session.
What can a Befriender do or not do?
They cannot cook for you, or dig your entire garden, but they will be there, and might do the odd simple things (like making a cup of tea.)
