BeFriend If you follow current affairs, you will know that loneliness is now known to be a risk to health and that many people experience it. The high profile Jo Cox Commission on Loneliness found that 1 in 3 people aged over 75 say that their feelings of loneliness are out of their control.

That’s where projects like BeFriend come in.

BeFriend is a Duns-based, well established project that provides companionship for older people in Kelso and Berwickshire. We help people to feel less lonely, less isolated, and to feel more connected to their communities.

We are looking for people to give some of their own time to help vulnerable, isolated, older people. Alex, one of our befrienders, says, “I’m really glad I became part of the befrienders. I hope I have a befriender when I’m older.”

If you would like to make a difference in the life of an older person, please get in touch to find out more.

You can call: Terri or Kerry on 01361 884000 or email: BeFriend@berwickshirehousing.org.uk.

Swimming is not just a sport – it’s a life skill!

Learn 2 Swim, aligned with Scottish Swimming’s National Framework, offers classes for children of every age, irrespective of their ability.

The Borders’ connection to great Scottish writers like Sir Walter Scott can be uncovered at the courtroom in Selkirk, as well as St. Ronan’s Wells in Innerleithen. The life and death of motorcycle racing legends Jimmie Guthrie and Steve Hislop are exhibited in Hawick Museum and one of F1s all-time-greats, Jim Clark, is celebrated at the new Jim Clark Motorsport Museum in Duns.

If art is your thing, then four of the museums house gallery spaces which host an ever-changing programme of contemporary visual art and craft exhibitions. Additionally, there are some permanent displays like that of Tom Scott’s beautiful paintings which are shown at Borders Textile Towerhouse in Hawick.

If you’re looking for a day out with your family or a few quiet hours to yourself, our museums and galleries provide a wonderful, educational experience and they’re totally free (excluding Jim Clark Motorsport Museum), with donations welcome.
