**About Befriend a Child**

At Befriend a Child we believe every child deserves a happy childhood and the chance to succeed in life. We provide support to school aged children who live in and around Aberdeen and are missing out on their childhood. They are not problem children, but children with problems which they are not responsible for. We match them with trained volunteers who deliver our 1:1 befriending and mentoring services. Over time, this has a transformational effect. We are the only dedicated befriending and mentoring service for children in the North-East and we strive to make a lasting positive impact on the lives of the children we support. The youngsters we support often come from troubled family backgrounds where they experience challenges and difficulties such as parental drug and alcohol abuse; poor mental health; abuse and neglect, poverty and inconsistent parenting. Our key objectives are to help the youngsters develop confidence, self-esteem, life skills and interests and to help reduce their social isolation. Ultimately, we aim to help them realise their potential. Our charity’s motto is “Turn a Frown Upside Down”. The children and young people we support are matched with a positive adult role model - a volunteer befriender or mentor - who meets with them regularly to engage in a range of fun, everyday activities which most people would take for granted. However, because of family and home circumstances they are not accessible to these youngsters.

Each year we support approximately 250 youngsters and we have established our expertise and reputation over 47 years of operations. For the local community, the services we provide are unique and vital.
