The aim of the scheme is to provide a befriending service
to children and young people aged between 6-17. The befriending
relationship is always structured, purposeful and time limited.
SOVA staff request that the referrer identify a specific aim/goal
for the volunteer and the young person to work towards.
The project supports the following key objectives of the Kingston
Upon Hull Social Services Department:-
a) Safely supporting and maintaining children and young people
at home wherever possible.
b) Restoring children home to their families wherever possible.
c) Reducing the risk that children and young people will offend
or re-offend.
