Volunteering is a voluntary act of an individual or group freely giving time and labour for community service.
St Davids Befrienders endeavour to offer valuable and effective befriending services right across the St Davids Peninsular. We are only able to do this because of the commitment and efforts of our increasing and dedicated army of excellent volunteers, without whom we would cease to function.
We are very fortunate to have volunteers of all ages (18 to 80’s) who give up some of their own precious time every week to help our cause. They come from all walks of life, different professions and areas and all are, without question, exceptional.
If you want to become one of these exceptional people and you think you can help, please read on below.
St Davids Befriending Services
Who can be a befriender?
Anyone with goodwill, a bit of friendliness, and a willingness to help.
What is the process of applying?
There will be a very informal interview and you will asked to provide two referees.
You will be given a small training programme to work through.
THEN, you wait for a phone call, asking you to come, with an experienced Befriender, to meet someone.
That sounds very easy, is that it?
It depends on people, likes and dislikes, personalities, and needs.
The friendship might last just a couple of weeks , or three months, or years ( if you really hit it off).
What you can be certain of is that you will have made a difference, and you may have enhanced someone’s life immeasurably, even though you may not even know it.
And your own life experience may be better than it might have been without Befriending.
