Telephone Befriending

Club F.O.D Cymru is in the development stages of establishing a dedicated LGBT+ Befriending Service which will initially be for LGBT+ people in South Wales.

Whilst we have historically aimed to prevent Social Isolation within the LGBT+ community, our LGBT+ Befriending Service will aim to reduce Social Isolation where it already exists.

Whilst we will initially launch with a telephone befriending service, eventually we are planning to offer two types of service:

• Tea-friending – A weekly or fortnightly visit to an individuals home
• E-friending – A weekly or fortnightly phone call
  

The service will focus on those who are LGBT+ and over 50 and are isolated and have Limited Social Connections as well as those who are LGBT+ and housebound (no age restrictions) and who have Limited Social Connections

Further details will be available in due course.
