Befriending Links – The aim of the project is to support people over the age of 50 who, for whatever reason, have become socially isolated, withdrawn, have lost their confidence, or just have a low sense of wellbeing.  The aim of the project is to support individuals to do the things they enjoy doing, live the life they want to live and empower them to take control of their lives.
