Volunteer

A befriender is someone willing to take a few hours out of their week to spend one to one time with a woman who has experienced domestic abuse.

Befrienders empower women to become more independent. Examples of activities that befrienders can explore are:

• Join an art class, college class or an exercise class
• Accompany her for shopping or going for a coffee
• Help find information and advice
• Provide a listening ear when she needs support

Please note that we are not actively recruiting volunteer befrienders at this time and will update our website when this changes. Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us.

Fife Women’s Aid counselling service provides one-to-one counselling to women affected by domestic abuse.

Working in a confidential setting, counsellors provide non directive support to clients to help them explore feelings, anxieties and life events that impact on their emotional wellbeing.

As a volunteer you will be fully supported by our trained counselling team, and training will be provided as required.

For the post of volunteer counsellor we require that you are qualified to Diploma Level or above. Alternatively you must be a student volunteer counsellor undertaking a recognised accredited counselling course. All students applying to come on placement must be studying at Diploma level and have achieved ‘fit to practice’ status.
