Womankind is looking for compassionate women to become Befriending Volunteers and help transform lives.

We offer two opportunities:
In-person befriending in Bristol and South Gloucestershire (12 Months)
Telephone befriending supporting women across the UK (6 Months)

Every woman we support has experienced sexual or domestic violence. Through befriending, you’ll help create a safe, trauma-informed relationship that improves mental well-being and reduces isolation.

As a volunteer, you’ll commit to around 1 or 2 hours per week, meeting your Befriendee either in their home or a community setting (or via phone or zoom if you choose the remote option).

We’re looking for women who:
✔ Want to make a real difference
✔ Can listen without judgment
✔ Believe in building warm, supportive connections

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

When : Every week

Starts 01st February 2026
