Befriending Project
Women Talking is a befriending service, providing support to women who have been in abusive relationships. Our befrienders are all women from the local area, who have chosen to volunteer because they want to help other women move forward in their lives. They are friendly, good listeners, non-judgmental, encouraging and reliable.
You and your befriender can meet once a week for two hours and do things that you would like to do. Some weeks this might be talking over coffee, whilst other weeks you might decide to do something active together, like going to a museum, exercise class or walk in the park. Your befriender can help you set some goals, which you will be able to achieve whilst involved in the project. These could involve:
· Joining a local group or activity
· Doing a course
· Getting involved in volunteering
By taking part in the project and achieving your goals you can benefit from;
· Feeling less isolated
· Feeling more confident
· Having healthier relationships in the future
If you would like a befriender and to get involved in the project then please get in contact with Clare.
