WELCOME TO TANDEM

Cycling is easier when two people take the strain. In the same way, having someone to talk to can be transformative in getting through

the pain of mental distress

and social isolation.

Tandem is a small, Oxford-based charity that sets up one-to-one befriending partnerships between volunteers and people living with mental ill-health

Thanks to all who came along to the AGM and Summer Party -

it was a really excellent evening.

And many thanks to Angelo Fernandes, CEO of Archway, who gave a very thought-provoking and interesting talk on loneliness and mental health.

NEXT TRAINING FOR VOLUNTEERS

will be in mid-October.

One comment from

the most recent training:

"I just wanted to say the training on Saturday was absolutely fab! Heli is such a great speaker – really engaging and easy to listen to. The whole session had such a good energy; it was interactive, fun, and I genuinely came away feeling like I’d learnt loads. The volunteers were brilliant too – they were really engaged and brought some impressive experience with them."
