What families with a befriender have said

"We had felt very alone and needed some outside help, not so much to give us a break, but to give Karen a life outside our small family."

"His befriender is like a big brother to him and they do fun things that a teenager doesn't want to do with his mum."

"Having a befriender has been brilliant.  I get a chance to spend time with my other children, as well as a chance to get a precious few hours to myself."

"It is such a relief to us that our daughter has someone so understanding who is more of her own age and who she can talk to."

"I find I can relax and enjoy myself knowing that Amy is having fun with an understanding, responsible adult who is there solely for her."
