About the Activity
The Community Befriending Programme (CBP) is a befriending programme for isolated elderly living by themselves in the community. This programme re-engages the elderly with community and links the elderly to services which they may require. We aim to affirm elderly's identity and increase their confidence through sharing and recounting of their experience. We also hope to give the elderly a chance to develop new friendships and opportunities to participate in social activities.
