Befriended was set up in 2017 with the mission of ending loneliness and isolation among older people living in Mid Sussex.

The charity also offers bereavement support to people of all ages through its Compassionate Conversations course and Bereavement Cafes.

Befriended offers a range of services to older people living in the Mid Sussex area. This includes the towns of Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill, along with the surrounding villages such as Lindfield, Hassocks, Hurstpierpoint, Ditchling and Cuckfield.
