Thank you for referring to Time to Talk Befriending.

The information we ask for helps us understand the person's circumstances, current social connections and what support might be helpful.

When you make a referral to us, you can expect:

• Initial contact within two weeks of receiving the referral
• A whole-person conversation to understand the person’s circumstances, connections, strengths, interests, preferences and what matters to them
• Careful consideration of the most appropriate form of connection and support
• Quality-assured befriending, independently accredited with excellence through Befriending Networks’ Quality in Befriending Award
• An update for the referrer on the outcome, where consent and information-sharing arrangements allow
• Connections to groups, activities, information and other appropriate sources of support
• Ongoing support and review once a befriending relationship begins

Please read our Referral Guidelines before proceeding.

Not sure whether to refer?

People's circumstances do not always fit neatly into criteria.

If you are unsure whether an interaction should count as quality time, or whether someone meets the criteria, please speak to us.

We would rather discuss a potential referral with you than have someone miss out on support.
