Befriending news

There is always something happening at COVEY!

We want this page to reflect the variety and diversity of interesting opportunity that is part of the organisation.

Especially welcome will be news of interesting achievements of volunteers and their young people, ideas about where to go on outings and up and coming events. So please e-mail anything that would be of interest.

Congratulations:

Congratulations to befriender Nicola Holton who has been awarded a community champion award by her employers, the Dunfermline Building Society, for her voluntary work with COVEY over the past two years.


Events:

We had a really successful AGM in June celebrating 15 years of befriending in South Lanarkshire. Over 50 people heard about the difference that befriending makes in the lives of young people. One young person and their befriender told their impressive story about their involvement with COVEY.
