Evaluation of Shetland Befriending Scheme

The downloadable file 'Alongside to Help'  [pdf 382KB] is an External Evaluation undertaken in December 2010 of Shetland Befriending Scheme by Mike Nicholson, on behalf of Befriending Network Scotland.

In the Key findings the report states:

Five years since its last external evaluation, this evaluation finds the Shetland Befriending Scheme to have developed into new areas with an expanded staff team, but to have done this with no compromise to its highly organised approach, its close regard to best practice, its professional and caring delivery of service to all involved, or the way in which it is viewed across the community.
