First Steps ED is a multi-award winning eating disorder charity based in Derby working further afield supporting individuals and families impacted by disordered eating and disorders. Our NHS England endorsed Befriending service supports individuals over 14 years old or parents/carers looking after a loved one in their important care giving role with twice weekly emails, or once a week video, or weekly telephone support over a 6 month period.

Some, not all of our Befrienders are experts by experience, i.e., have lived with and recovered from their eating disorder and choose befriending to give back to the support they received from First Steps ED. Other Befrienders are parents/carers or professionals working in health, social care or education settings and looking to expand their skills by joining our inclusive team of staff and volunteers.

Sense Virtual Buddying volunteers make a real difference to supporting young people and adults who may be lonely or isolated.

Sense matches volunteers with disabled people to meet for an hour a week on Zoom or over the phone. 

Our volunteers have spent thousands of hours with their buddies — learning new skills, having fun, and forming fantastic friendships.

Sense matches each volunteer with someone who has similar interests, to make sure you have a great time. 

You and your buddy choose a time that suits you, and you can decide what activities you’d like to do together.

Here’s what Bethany has to say about volunteering as a Virtual Buddy: “I just know that on a Thursday I’m going to be laughing at the end of my day. It’s a really positive part of my week.”

Local Groups consist of like-minded volunteers who work together to collect tools, sort them and sometimes do basic refurbishment. They generally have access to a garage or two for storage and a large shed or two for sorting. It's a great role for people who enjoy volunteering in a team. If we don't have a Local Group in your area, perhaps you could help us start one!
