LGBTFriending

Whilst Club F.O.D has historically aimed to prevent Social Isolation within the LGBT+ community, our LGBT+ Befriending Service aims to reduce Social Isolation where it already exists.


We offer two types of service:


  • Tea-friending – A weekly or fortnightly visit to an individuals home
  • E-friending – A weekly or fortnightly phone call

Our services focus on:


  • Those who are LGBT+ and over 50 and are isolated and have Limited Social Connections
  • Those who are LGBT+ and housebound (no age restrictions) and have Limited Social Connections

We accept referrals from both statutory services as well as directly from people who think they would benefit from the service.
