MHA currently offers a telephone befriending service for older people (55 and over) across the UK and face to face befriending services in areas where we able to through our network of MHA Communities Schemes. We currently don’t have any face to face schemes in the Norfolk region but can support with our telephone befriending services.

The MHA Central Befriending team facilitate a national remote service with the aim of offering an inclusive, trusted service that links people together to reduce loneliness and isolation, build confidence and wellbeing and enrich later life.  Our most popular service is Telephone Befriending which involves a regular call from a trained and DBS checked volunteer.  Most people choose to receive a weekly call.  We also offer a “light touch” Check and Chat service where our members receive a shorter fortnightly/monthly check in call and befriending matches that keep in touch through writing.  We have attached our service leaflets and latest newsletter which give more information about who we are and our services.
