Each Family Friend volunteer within the household will have their own Befriending Family Friends.

Select Preferences from the left-hand menu.

Scroll down to the Befriending Preferences section.

Select if the volunteer is able/willing to support Adults only, Children only or Either.

Select if the volunteer can provide support on Weekdays only, Weekends only or Either.

Specify if the volunteer id able/willing to drive.

Set if the volunteer is willing to receive emergency requests (where support is required within the next 48 hours).

Select Update [volunteer] Preferences to save any changes.

The Befriending Preferences available to a volunteer correspond to the additional search options available when creating a new Family Friend assignment.

i.e. volunteers who are listed as not able to drive will not be returned against a Family Friend assignment where a driver has been requested.
