The Mental Health Befriending Service is the only service of its kind in Norfolk. The project is run by Voluntary Norfolk.
Dementia Cafes operate throughout the UK and offer activity, information, social interactions and respite. They are a lifeline to many who use them. This video was made to explain how some of the dementia cafes in Norfolk operate.
Voluntary Norfolk works with and for the voluntary sector and volunteers in the County. Whilst many people give generously of their time and skills, recruiting enough volunteers for the the charity's numerous befriending schemes is a constant battle. Video case studies are a good way of illustrating the benefits and value of volunteering.
