Who We Are

Through volunteers, BeFriends offers befriending support to disadvantaged children and young people local to Dundee, developing their life skills and improving their well-being.

BeFriends is a thriving Dundee based charity Established in 1981. Over the years we have provided help and support to thousands of vulnerable and disadvantaged children in Dundee. Our One-to-One befriending is a platform of support to young people between, the ages of five and twenty five experiencing hardship. Our befriending offers an experience totally focused on the young person, their well being and their growth, most importantly its an avenue of social engagement and fun for the young person.


We have found that support from a befriender and engaging in activities together leads the young person into::

• Positive changes in their lives.
• Elevating their aspirations and access to their potential.
• Developing skills and abilities that build confident individuals.
• Enhancing personal, social and communication skills.
• Encouraging responsibility and agency in their life
• An Increase in positive participation society.
• An overall improved quality of life.
