Weekly telephone befriending service for people with a neurological condition.
If you’re feeling lonely, don’t suffer in silence. Why not sign up to receive a weekly phone call from one of The Brain Charity’s volunteer telephone befrienders?
Our volunteers can call you, at a time suitable for you both, to offer a friendly, understanding ear, and give you a chance to talk.
Each weekly call typically lasts around 30 minutes, and the befrienders are there to talk about any topic you would like.
To get the ball rolling, please fill out the form on this page, with as much detail as you wish.
Please note that our befrienders are not trained in mental health support. For counselling and therapy, we have a separate service.
