    Befriending Service Volunteer

    Bardsley Youth Project

    This opportunity is ongoing, with no end date.

    Many young people experience homelessness and have little to no stable and or positive supportive people in their life. They need someone just to be there to socialise, spend time with them and build a relationship of trust and respect with them – this might be going for a coffee and a chat, as well as just generally taking an interest and being willing to spend time with them.

    Role Description

    Befrienders at Bardsley Youth Project build supportive and professional relationships with young people who have little to no stable or positive people in their life. Building a trusting and respectful relationship with a supportive adult can promote positive development, and this can be as simple as a regular chat over coffee.

     

    The Purpose of Bardsley's Befriending Service:

    Many young people experience homelessness and have little to no stable and or positive supportive people in their life. They need someone just to be there to socialise, spend time with them and build a relationship of trust and respect with them – this might be going for a coffee and a chat, as well as just generally taking an interest and being willing to spend time with them. Most roles would involve meeting the young person on no more than a weekly basis, some may be be monthly.

     

    What Makes a Great Befriending Service Volunteer?

    You will be empathetic, a good listener and genuinely interested in seeing the young person thrive and succeed. You will be prepared to meet with a young person regularly and be adaptable to what they want and need.
