Switchboard and Lunch Positive are asking if you think there’s a need for a local Befriending Service for LGBTQ people and people living with HIV.
Befriending is a mutually rewarding friendship between a volunteer befriender and a person who requests befriending. Befriending can help ease loneliness and social isolation.
Switchboard and Lunch Positive – supported by the Rainbow Fund – are keen to find out your views on whether an LGBTQ and HIV Befriending Service is needed and what it could look like. They are asking people to complete a quick survey.
If there is a positive response, Switchboard and Lunch Positive aim to seek funding to set up the service. They’ll work with Together Co – the Loneliness Charity which has been running a Befriending Service in Brighton & Hove for 20 years.
You can access the Befriending Survey here.
By taking part, you can opt in to enter a prize draw for a £50 supermarket voucher. The survey closes on 15 May.
