We are currently recruiting for new volunteers to work with local families in need,

• Are you someone who can offer a listening ear?
• Are you able to withhold judgement?
• Do you like trying new things?
• Can you spare a few hours weekly or fortnightly?
• Are you able to travel in to Central West London?

If YES then we would love to hear from you, for an informal chat - please drop a line to volunteer@familyfriends.uk.com

The interesting thing about the word befriending is that people always ask about what it ‘really’ is. So here you go…

It’s a professional friendship, a listening ear, a few nudges this way and that, stern words, laughs and everything in between.

We were reminded of the power of the befriending relationship this week by an ex-service-user who rang to tell us about her experience with one of our befrienders back in 2009. It’s of no surprise to us that the results of our service are not always truly known until years later down the line.

Our partnership with The Junior League of London enables Family Friends to make the festive period that little bit more special for our families by delivering them Christmas hampers. These hampers are kindly prepared by The Junior League of London and storage was kindly offered by Catholic Children’s Society. Donations of children books were made by Usbourne Publishing while face masks by Harrow Club W10.
