Ffrind i Mi/Friend of Mine
Location
Everyone, at some time in their life, has felt alone, vulnerable or wished that they had more company. Isolation or feeling lonely can affect anyone at any age and at any time. For example, after the loss of a loved one, on leaving active service, retiring, or moving away.
People cope with life events in different ways. Some people find going out and spending time in the company of friends really helps. For others, having someone visit them at home makes such a big difference. But sometimes, people may not like to ask or do not know who to ask for support or advice.
Ffrind i Mi (Friend of mine) is an initiative where Aneurin Bevan University Health Board and our partners are working together to try and make sure that anyone who feels lonely or isolated are supported to reconnect with their communities. This includes making sure that people know what support services are available to them and who to contact.
