Befriending Week 2026
Posted: 10 November 2026
To celebrate Befriending Week this year, our Befriending Coordinator Shaun organised an afternoon tea for all our befriender volunteers and the people they befriend. The group went to the Eglinton Arms where they were VERY well looked after with plenty of sandwiches, cakes and scones.
It’s lovely to be able to offer this opportunity for befrienders and befriendees to get together as they are usually meeting in pairs. New friendships were formed, and it turned out some members already knew one another. Bringing people together and helping to make connections is what we are all about at MKHH.
A massive thank you to ASDA who provided the funding for this very special event via their Better Together fund. It was an afternoon to remember, and our members are already asking when we can do it again!
