COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions about Befriending/Mentoring
What happens on a typical visit?
Usually a cup of tea and a chat, sometimes a walk or a bit of help with something small. The relationship matters more than the activity.
Can I befriend by phone instead?
Yes. Several Wexford services run telephone befriending, which suits people who cannot travel or who prefer a set call each week.
Do befriending roles need Garda vetting?
Roles that involve visiting people at home or working with young people normally require vetting. The organisation will explain the process and cover it with you.
How long should I expect to commit?
Most services ask for at least six months or a year, because the value is in the person knowing you will be there next week.
