Emma brings over 20 years of experience from her time with GVA (now Community First), with nearly half of that dedicated to befriending services. Compassionate, knowledgeable, and deeply committed, she takes great care to ensure every person receives the support that’s right for them.

With a strong understanding of services across Gosport, Emma thoughtfully connects people to the help that can make the biggest difference. She is thorough in her approach, carefully matching service users with volunteers and always striving to create meaningful, supportive connections.

Emma regularly goes above and beyond - stepping in to check on service users when needed and making sure no one is ever left without support. Her dedication, reliability, and genuine care make her a valued member of the team and a wonderful example of what a Befriending Coordinator should be.
