Get Involved

Get involved at About with Friends! Our organisation started with a handful of people around a kitchen table. It’s thanks to the involvement of people like you that we have grown to encompass our current base in Cromer, a shop and cafe.

It’s thanks to our staff both part-time and full-time that we are able to offer such quality services, but also volunteers who give up their time freely to make a difference to people’s lives.

Whether it’s volunteer drivers, catering support workers or office admin staff, the team at About with Friends is what makes us so special. Find out here how you can Get Involved, and how we have been helping out in our local community.

Just a short note to thank you all for your help with our daughter. she has spent many years at school with little improvement in her behaviour and speech, yet in just a few weeks she has been with you guys the improvements in both areas are plain to see.

I am not sure what the different methods used are but please continue as you are, as life at the moment for us as a family is greatly improved because of your input.

We are very aware of her complex needs and how she can change like the wind but we will continue to enjoy the fruits of your labours.

This is the best transition I have had for a student in the whole five years I have taught 6th formers!

Just wanted to say a big thank you to you and everyone else that supported H on the recent trip – she had an amazing time. I enjoyed look at the Twitter feed to see what you had been up to.

To all the staff at About with Friday, I had a wonderful time with you guys, and I want to say a big thank you for looking after me. Love from K.

After 30 years of trying to get P engaged in activities, he is now, under your care, beginning to grow like a great Oak tree.

Many thanks again for J’s lovely break in Derbyshire with About with Friends. He really enjoyed himself, had loads of fun and told us all about the cable cars, stepping stones, cinema, meals out, etc.! We would be very grateful if you could pass on our sincere thanks to all the staff who organised the holiday and supported our youngsters to enable them to have such a wonderful time. We are also very grateful as we, ourselves, were able to enjoy a short break in Paris, which was wonderful and recharged our batteries!

I haven’t seen D for ages and he looks like a new man . The stress has gone from his face – he looks great Well done !!!!

Over the last five years I have had a fortnightly, 2 hour designated gardening slot. I highly value your service and ethos.

I’ve got my life back
