💙 Meet the Bfriend Team! 💙

There have been quite a few changes at Bfriend over the last few months, and we now have our lovely new team in place. So we thought it was about time we properly introduced ourselves!

Over the next few photos, meet the people behind Bfriend, find out a wee bit about what brought us here… and probably a few things you didn’t really need to know too! 😂

What a brilliant day we had at our Picnic in the Park Fun Day at Rozelle! ☀️🌳

The sun showed up, lunch was demolished, games were played, and we had what may well have been the best scavenger hunt Rozelle has ever seen. 😂

There was also a very calm and not-at-all competitive game of rounders… although Aaron and Morgan may disagree. Safe to say neither of them appeared to understand the words “just for fun” once the game started. 🤣

We even had a tiny interloper, who popped along and seemed quite happy to be part of the Bfriend Crew for the day.

A huge thank you to all of our young people and volunteers who came along and made the day what it was. It was just what we wanted; relaxed, fun, lots of laughs and a chance for everyone to spend some time together.

Already looking forward to the next one. 💛

💜 Could you be the person who makes a difference for 'A'?

Right now, there's a lovely young girl in South Ayrshire waiting for someone to spend a little time with her.

'A' loves animals, trips to the cinema, gaming, music and football. She's fascinated by sea life (especially seals!), enjoys Chinese food and musical instruments, and would love someone to share some fun adventures with.

A few hours every couple of weeks could give her something to look forward to, build her confidence and remind her that someone believes in her.

You don't need any special qualifications; just kindness, reliability and a little spare time. We'll provide all the training and support you need.

If you've ever thought about volunteering, maybe this is the sign you've been waiting for.

This week we're celebrating the incredible volunteers who give their time and kindness to support young people across South Ayrshire.

Every phone call, every outing, every conversation and every hour given helps a young person feel seen, valued and supported.

Our volunteers don't just give their time, they build confidence, create memories, provide stability and help young people discover just how much they're capable of.

To every one of our volunteers, thank you. You make a difference in ways that can't always be measured, but are felt every single day🧡
