What we do & how we do it!

The Friendship Project is a Warwickshire-wide charity that matches children and young people (who are in need, for a variety of reasons) with volunteers, for friendship and fun. The child may be caring for a sick parent or be limited to where they can go on holiday because of a disabled sibling or other family member. For some children, even playing in the park or going to the cinema are a rare treat. Having some time out from often difficult home situations really does improve the child’s self-esteem and self-worth. Our volunteers report that they too enjoy spending time with their Younger Friend knowing that they are really making a difference to a child’s life.

Feedback from our Younger Friends

He is so totally amazing and kind. I love biking with him and he is really enthusiastic and reliable.

I really like going out with my Older Friend because we have loads of fun and we go out on our bikes. He’s great.

I really like my Older Friend. We have so much fun together but she’s leaving and I will miss her. I hope I get another friend.

He is so good, he’s super kind and we get to go to lots of great places.
