June  2008 - Changes At Befrienders

After nineteen years with Befrienders, our Project Co-ordinator, Sheila Campbell, has decided - at last! - to retire.  

Sheila came to Argyll in 1989 to set the project up and has steered it through its many ups and downs since then.

Cathi Bertin who has been with Befrienders for some time is the new Project Co-ordinator.

Sheila says "a big thanks to everyone and good luck for the future.  I'm sure with Cathi at the helm, Befrienders will go from strength to strength."


Hello, and welcome to our online brochure giving information about what the Befrienders are and what's involved if you want to join us. Befrienders is a independent voluntary organisation which recruits adult volunteers to offer friendship and support for children aged 7-16 years, living in Argyll and Bute, and experiencing difficulties in some area of their lives.

 

Started in 1989, the project has a committed group of volunteers of all ages and experiences. We are always looking for more volunteers from all walks of life, willing to spend a few hours a week with a child who has been referred to us.
