Building Connections Through Friendship
Loneliness affects thousands of people across the West Midlands — but simple acts of kindness can make all the difference. At Best Choice Befriending Services, we’ve seen how weekly visits and friendly chats help people rediscover joy, confidence, and belonging. Read how our befrienders are changing lives one cup of tea at a time.
Celebrating Our Volunteers – The Heart of Best Choice
Our volunteers are the heartbeat of everything we do. This month, we celebrate their dedication and compassion at our annual Volunteer Appreciation Day! Find out how they’re making an impact — from supporting older adults to mentoring young people and helping new migrants feel at home.
Staying Active, Staying Connected
Movement isn’t just good for the body — it’s great for the mind! Our new Community Fitness & Friendship Programme encourages older adults to stay active through gentle exercise and fun group activities. Join us for walks, dance sessions, and more ways to move and connect.
