Welcome to Falmouth Befriending
Falmouth Befriending (as part of Age Concern) has been working in the community since 1957, with the primary purpose of alleviating loneliness and improving health and wellbeing for people in later life. Age UK Cornwall is extremely proud to have merged with Falmouth Befriending, continuing this vital service developing relationships and combatting loneliness and isolation.
Our free local befriending service supports Falmouth, Penryn, and the surrounding villages. We receive referrals from health and social care professionals, friends & family, and self-referrals. We rely on support from the Falmouth Community Hub, Age UK Cornwall, and our brilliant team of volunteers – who help people to remain socially connected.
We carefully match our volunteer befrienders with our clients, providing social interaction and friendship to anyone who is isolated or lonely, for about an hour each week. Please email us with referrals, offers of voluntary help and any questions or requests at falmouthbefriending@ageukcornwall.org.uk
