Online friend activities
Palvelun toteuttaa Finnish Red Cross
The Red Cross provides friends where they are needed. If you are feeling lonely and need the company of another person, you can apply for a Red Cross online friend. Online friends are trained volunteers who work with the skills of an ordinary person.
You can have one-on-one, anonymous conversations with a trusted online friend online, via email or chat applications. Online friendship is not limited by time or place. Face-to-face meetings are not considered online friendships.
The service is free.
Maksullisuus: Palvelu on maksuton
