Befriending Group Christmas Party
When I came [To Befriending] I had not long lost my partner and the house, I felt less than useless. Befriending has opened up my friendship group and since becoming a Befriender, I have taken part in First aid and safeguarding courses.
I had a stroke 10 years ago; I spent 6 weeks in hospital. At home I felt isolated. Since coming to Befriending, I have made lots of friends. Befriending keeps me motivated.
I come to Befriending for the exercise and to see other people.
Befriending helped me get a Chromebook which helped me a lot and allowed me to access online courses. I was helped to attend Befriending which helps me socialise with other people. I learned a lot from a recent talk on Dementia. Befriending is doing a good job at helping me and others.
The DCFA Befriending Service is deeply grateful for the generous support we have received from Neighbourly UK and Black Country Foodbank through the provision of surplus food. This contribution has significantly enhanced our capacity to assist individuals and families in our community, especially during these challenging times.
The surplus food provided by Neighbourly UK has been instrumental in alleviating food insecurity and bringing hope and comfort to many. Your generosity makes a positive and meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve, and we truly appreciate your partnership.
We are honored to be the recipients of Neighbourly UK's support and look forward to continuing our collaboration to uplift and support those in need. Your kindness and commitment to helping others inspire us, and we are thankful for your ongoing support.
Thank you, Neighbourly UK, for your invaluable contribution to our community
