About the service and what to expect
Together Co is a loneliness charity that creates connections to change lives. Services provided include befriending, social prescribing and volunteering in Brighton, Hove and beyond.
Befriending
Everybody should have somebody. Together Co’s befriending service matches people with people to create friendships that make life better. They’ve been doing so for over 20 years. In that time, they have witnessed loneliness eased and lives changed – all through the simple power of human connection.
You can access this service and create valuable friendships, share interests & experiences by being matched with someone like you, improve confidence & self-esteem and live happier and healthier lives. The befriending matching process is personalised and based on details such as where you live, your interests and shared characteristics.

Social Prescribing
Social connections are key to our wellbeing. Together Co’s social prescribing services help people find the people and places they need to be happier and healthier. This might be having someone you can chat to when you need to, or someone who helps you navigate local services that could benefit you. Find out more about the process here
