Age UK Bath & North East Somerset: Befriending Service

Friendship and meaningful connections are key to good mental health and wellbeing. Our befriending service provides community connections for older people in Bath and North East Somerset with regular phone calls and visits. We have found that by bringing members of our community together, they get such a buzz out of the relationship that genuine long term friendships are formed.
