Befriend a Child

Befriend a Child’s motto is ‘turn a frown upside down’.  We support school-aged children across Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire who are growing up in difficult life circumstances. We match them with a trained volunteer who supports them and helps them develop resilience, self-confidence, self-esteem and to experience more of what life has to offer. Over time, this has a transformational effect. We are the only dedicated befriending and mentoring service for children in the North East.
