Befriending Week (1st to 7th November) is the annual campaign to raise awareness about befriending and highlight the power of social connection in reducing loneliness and social isolation. It’s a chance for communities to raise awareness about befriending, celebrate the contributions of befriending volunteers and the staff who support them, and advocate for befriending to local and national decision-makers.
