Hand of Solace is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated organisation working with isolated/lonely elders and young people by offering direct services and support , all designed to help people make the most of life.

We have a range of exciting volunteer opportunities to assist in this and would be delighted to hear from anyone interested in joining our great volunteer team. This includes assisting with our Young People Befriending Service. Our Young People Volunteer Befrienders are matched on a 1:1 basis with a child aged (5-16) within the Aberdeen community and through caring, reliability and consistency build up a trusting relationship, thus providing positive role model. Befrienders shall support the young people to access/attend activities within the community to reduce isolation, promote self-confidence/esteem and to help young people to begin to learn life skills.

We'll give you all the training and support you need to do your role. All help will make a difference and be greatly appreciated.
