Welcome to BeFriends

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________​
BeFriends formerly known as Youth-Link (Dundee) is a Dundee based charity.  Established in 1981 we have provided help and support to thousands of vulnerable and disadvantaged children in the Dundee area.

BeFriends acts as a resource for vulnerable/disadvantaged children aged 5-18 providing them with a One-to-One Befriending Service.

Through support from befrienders and by participating in fun activities/experiences we:

  • Make a positive change in the lives of the children and young people
  • Raise the children and young people’s aspirations and help them realise their full potential
  • Build upon the children's key skills and abilities helping them develop into confident and capable individuals
  • Enhance the children and young people’s personal, social and communication skills
  • Encourage the children and young people to take responsibility for their behaviour and actions and support them to make positive choices that can reshape their future
  • Increase the children and young people’s participation in city wide and local activities

Our Mission Statement:
​

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