Born out of the Ageing Better Middlesbrough Befriending Service provided during the covid pandemic, the Wellbeing Team aims to:

  • support people to overcome the main difficulties in their lives which are contributing to their loneliness and isolation
  • support people to improve their physical health and wellbeing
  • support people to move towards a point where they feel able to re-connect with people and/or
    activities in their local community
  • improve people’s feelings of companionship and social inclusion

Impact on people’s lives…

The Hope Foundation has been a lifeline during the lockdown, I have made so many new friends

Stacy

I always look forward to the [befriending] calls and really enjoy them. The service has made a big difference to me and I feel like I have made a friend. The calls lift me and give me a good laugh. They have been a lifesaver and a lovely experience.”
