Friendship activities
Our Befriending programme holds the Befriending Networks Quality in Befriending Award.
We understand that friendship comes in many forms and that building new friendships is a key part of the resettlement process.
At The Welcoming we offer group activities and one-to-one support to meet new people and make friends.
Our programme is free and for adults (over 18s).

Friendship groups
Our friendship groups for New Scots are a great way to meet new people, explore the city and build community.
One-to-one befriending
We connect asylum seekers, refugees and migrants in Edinburgh with local people to build friendships.
This project is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.
