Bfriend South Ayrshire

10/06/2026

Our office will be closed tomorrow as Aaron and Odette are heading to the Befriending Networks Roadshow in Glasgow.

We're looking forward to spending the day with other befriending organisations from across Scotland, sharing ideas, learning from each other and hopefully coming back full of inspiration.

There's always new things to learn, and we're excited to bring back fresh ideas that will help us continue providing the best possible support for children and young people across South Ayrshire😄

We'll be back in the office on Friday.

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🧡

We’re incredibly grateful to have been awarded £1,000 from the Asda Foundation following a successful funding application.

As a small local charity, funding like this goes a long way and helps us continue supporting young people across South Ayrshire through one-to-one befriending, activities and new experiences.

A huge thank you to Dolora, Asda’s Community Champion, and everyone at Asda Foundation for their support and for recognising the difference that befriending can make in a young person’s life.

Every pound helps us build confidence and make sure local young people feel valued, supported and included.

Now the fun part begins – putting it to good use for the young people we support! 🧡🩵

A massive thank you to Circulus for kindly donating 4 reconditioned HP laptops to Bfriend 💙
Circulus support organisations with CRM and data solutions while promoting sustainability through the refurbishment and reuse of technology.

As a small charity, support like this really does make a difference. Our old laptops were definitely starting to show their age, so this donation was much needed and means our wee team can now work much more efficiently supporting children and young people across South Ayrshire.

Safe to say… we’ve had a serious upgrade! 💻⌨️💡😄

Thank you again from all of us at Bfriend, we really appreciate your generosity and support.🧡

What a wonderful morning!
Our Project Manager, Odette, was thrilled to join 1st Prestwick Boys Brigade for their service today - and to receive a very special gift.
The boys completed a sponsored walk for Bfriend and raised an incredible £1,532. An amazing amount!
We are so grateful to every single one of them. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 🧡

A huge thank you to all 20+ volunteers and trustees who joined us at yesterday’s ‘Meet & Greet’ to welcome our new Project Coordinators, Barbara & Aaron. It was wonderful to meet you all and hear the stories behind your befriending matches; hearing them was a real reminder of the incredible difference you make. It’s a privilege to have such dedicated people at the heart of our project 🧡🩵
