When booking, please send a letter of support from your meeting - this could be from an Elder, Overseer or Clerk simply indicating that you have the support of your meeting in taking on the role of Becoming Friends companion (we hope this will help ensure that Becoming Friends service will be well rooted and supported in meetings).
Becoming Friends on-the-road
Becoming Friends companion courses are also available as part of Woodbrooke's off-site programme. If you would like to discuss the possibility of arranging a Becoming Friends companion course for your local or area meeting, please contact Ginny Wall or Lizz Roe.
Preparing to be a companion’ handbook
From September 2010 the Becoming Friends ‘Preparing to be a companion’ handbook will be available for meetings who wish to run their own companion courses. This handbook will give guidance for offering a companion course locally, either as a series of sessions, or as a one day event. There will also be options for self study. Details of how to get hold of the handbook will be available here from September.
