CAVS - Befriending Service

CAVS Befriending Service, including our Buddy-Up Scheme and Telephone Befriending provides support to vulnerable residents across Castle Point, Rochford and Rayleigh, to help alleviate the feelings of loneliness and social isolation experienced by many. Across our local communities, people of varying ages, for all sorts of reasons, can face huge struggles, particularly if there is no network of family or friends to support them. It can be overwhelming. Our services provide a vital lifeline and not just for the elderly.
