About Friendship Support Services
This project focuses on enabling adults with learning disabilities living
in the London Borough of Greenwich to make and maintain lasting friendships.
Befriending:
we recruit volunteers to befriend adults with a learning disability
on a one to one basis. We are looking for men and women over the age
of 18 who can spare 2-3 hours a month. You need to be friendly, reliable,
open and honest.
We offer ongoing support, training and out of pocket expenses. You and
your friend decide together what you want to do.
Funded by: LB
Greenwich Social Services.
