If you are a compassionate, friendly and positive individual living in the Harrogate District and want to get involved in supporting people within the community, then volunteering as a befriender could be for you. This service offers the opportunity to meet with a volunteer befriender in a public location on a regular basis for walks, a café visit, a shopping trip or other hobbies and interest or activity.

We have opportunities across the Harrogate district, Nidderdale, Masham, Ripon, Boroughbridge as well as Harrogate and Knaresborough.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for this service, please email befriending@mindinharrogate.org.uk to ask for a role description and application form where you can provide us with a brief description of yourself and your interests. DBS checks are required for all our volunteers.
