British Mentoring and Befriending Foundation

The British Mentoring and Befriending Foundation is a national organization that supports and promotes best practices in mentoring and friendship programs. It works to enhance the quality and effectiveness of initiatives that connect volunteers with individuals who may benefit from social support, guidance, or companionship—such as young people, adults facing challenges, or vulnerable groups. The Foundation provides training, resources, and standards to ensure these relationships are safe, respectful, and impactful, ultimately fostering positive personal development and stronger communities through meaningful one-on-one connections.
