OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK TO PROVIDE BEFRIENDING
The Healing Hubs is a registered charity in England and Wales.
The Healing Hubs Charity connects people and enables belonging through compassionate befriending. We believe everyone deserves to feel seen, valued, and supported, reducing loneliness and preventing crisis.
Many carry worry in silence. Invisible pressures can be constant, draining away energy and hope. Our befriending services are guided by listening, empathy, and steady presence.
We run on donations, grants, and fundraising, and every contribution helps us reach more people across England and Wales. Healing begins when someone steps into a space where they are welcomed, acknowledged, and reminded that they belong.
What we do
· Provide safe, low-pressure spaces for connection, by phone, in person, at home, or via virtual calls.
· Rebuild and nurture connections one gentle moment at a time.
· Support adults of all ages across England and Wales.
Why it matters

· A simple act of friendship can reduce loneliness, build resilience, and prevent a crisis.

Why Befriending Matters
Befriending acts as a significant intervention to reduce loneliness and isolation, serving as a crucial, non-clinical support system that lowers the risk of mental health crisis by providing companionship, emotional support, and enhanced social connection. Research indicates that regular, structured or informal companionship from trained volunteers helps reduce feelings of hopelessness, which are linked to self-harm and suicide.
