COVEY stands for COmmunity Volunteers Enabling Youth.

We have a long history in recruiting, training and supporting volunteer befrienders and the young people they work with.

COVEY volunteers provide befriending outings on a regular basis to young people in South Lanarkshire.

"Befriending provides a supportive reliable relationship to someone who would otherwise be socially excluded" (Befriending Network Scotland)
 

COVEY values are...  respect, openness, commitment, innovation and passion where everyone; befrienders, board, volunteers, other agencies, young people and staff contribute to effective team work.

Find out more about how you can help make a difference in the lives of vulnerable young people.

Read on the News page how COVEY has made a difference to the life of one young person.
