What we do & how we do it!
Feedback from our Older Friends
I imagined that volunteering as an Older Friend might sometimes feel like a real effort, but our meetings are something that I really look forward to each week, and it feels that I actually get more out of the friendship than I put in. It’s two hours each week when I can forget about everything and just have fun.
I feel so lucky, we are having the best time. She was the perfect match for me. I am so grateful to The Friendship Project.
If you would like the pleasure of giving a little something back in this world, then volunteering for a small charity is a no brainer. Investing a few hours of my time for the Friendship Project is a delight and reaps huge rewards.
The charity are incredible at what they do, matching you with a perfect Younger Friend. Seeing the difference such a small amount of time can make to a young person’s life is incredible and I’d recommend it to absolutely anyone1
Feedback from our Younger Friends
He is so totally amazing and kind. I love biking with him and he is really enthusiastic and reliable.
I really like going out with my Older Friend because we have loads of fun and we go out on our bikes. He’s great.
I really like my Older Friend. We have so much fun together but she’s leaving and I will miss her. I hope I get another friend.
He is so good, he’s super kind and we get to go to lots of great places.
