Befriend a Child is a registered charity who support children and young people living in difficult life circumstances across Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire through 1:1 and group befriending and mentoring programmes and projects.
Befriend a Child was formed in 1975 by two women on the children’s panel who saw a gap in the support children were receiving between hearings. They saw the benefit of offering a child one to one support through a positive adult role model who could spend some time with the child and help take their minds off of the difficulties of their home life.
Over the years Befriend a Child’s provision of programmes and projects has grown and today we support approximately 250 children annually through our 1:1 and group befriending and mentoring programmes and projects across Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire.
