  An Independent Visitor or Buddy as we call them here in Doncaster, is a trusted and stable befriender who builds a safe and caring relationship with a young person in care over time. The aim of this volunteering role is to be a positive adult role model and provide 1-2-1 time and space for a young person to talk, feel listened to, valued, and have some fun. This consistent friendship helps the young person to build self-esteem, confidence, and resilience.
