Dumfries & Galloway Befriending Project

Dumfries and Galloway Befriending Project offers young people experiencing challenges at home, school or in the community, the opportunity of extra support and regular positive adult attention.

Having a befriender can help the young person tackle difficulties before they get too big, introduce them to new activities and help them be the best they can be. The young people benefit from the energy and enthusiasm of their befrienders and gain confidence from forming a positive relationship with a supportive adult.

Coordinators in Dumfries and Wigtownshire carefully match the young person with a volunteer and support the match by arranging regular and frequent progress meetings.

Children’s Hearing System

The Children’s Hearings System works with children and young people in Scotland under the age of eighteen who are in need of help. There are two main reasons why the Children’s Hearings System will help a child or young person: because they are in need of care or protection, or because they have got in trouble with the police. A children’s hearing is a legal meeting that young people must attend with their families or carer’s if the Children’s reporter has decided to arrange a children’s hearing.
