Contract for a Befriending Network

Hartlepool Borough Council has previously commissioned a Befriending Network aimed at reducing social isolation of older people within Hartlepool. Following a service review, we are looking to expand this offer to socially excluded working aged people aged 18 + as well as older people.

We would like the successful Provider to develop a Befriending Network that will work with people for a specified amount of time to increase confidence and resilience, reduce social isolation and increase social contact by matching people with volunteer Befrienders.

Community resources and links will be used to help to move people through the Befriending service to enable them to develop social connections of their own so other people can access the service.
