Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Over the course of eight days I will be walking the 84 miles
of the Norfolk Coast Path. 

I find it difficult to make friends as I have autism and found myself feeling lonely. I wanted to do some volunteering as a way of meeting people and making friends and found The Befriending Scheme online. I became a One-to-One Befriender as I know what it’s like to be lonely. 

The Befriending Scheme linked me up with someone they knew I would get on with - he really values my support and friendship.

I am really enjoying my time with The Befriending Scheme as
I have a lot of support from everyone and have made some meaningful and supportive friends, who have accepted me for the way I am and treat me like everyone else.

I wanted to give something back to the Scheme for all the support and kindness they have shown me and everyone who uses their services.

I have always enjoyed walking with my family and I am really looking
forward to walking the Norfolk Coast Path in May.
