From June to November 2024, we ran a befriending pilot project. This report captures our reflections on delivering the service and an evaluation of its impact, using observations and client feedback. The service set out to address social isolation and improve client’s wellbeing by fostering meaningful connections. To capture clients' experiences of the programme, we conducted interviews during our final visit. These interviews explored reasons for joining the befriending programme, the quality of relationships created with their befriender and the impact of the programme on their overall wellbeing.
