About BFriend Group
Who they are and what they do
BFriend Group is a community organisation based in Blackpool working to reduce loneliness and social isolation among older adults and vulnerable people. They connect isolated individuals with volunteer befrienders, providing regular visits, phone calls and meaningful companionship to those who most need it. Loneliness has a serious impact on physical and mental health — BFriend's work addresses that directly.

Why community involvement matters to us
Horizons Homecare is a local home care provider with branches in Blackpool and Lancaster. We believe that good care doesn't stop at the door — it is part of something wider. Our branches are involved in the communities they serve, not just as a business operating in them.
Supporting BFriend Group is one way that reflects. The people we care for at home are often connected to organisations like this — as service users, as families, as carers — and we believe it matters that we show up for those communities too.

About us
About Horizons Homecare
Horizons Homecare is a CQC-regulated home care provider operating across Blackpool, Fylde, Wyre, Lancaster and Morecambe. We provide person-centred care at home — personal care, dementia care, companionship, medication support, end-of-life care and more — delivered by small, consistent care teams who build genuine relationships with the people they support.
Our approach is built around continuity, punctuality and kindness. We believe care should feel human — not rushed or transactional. Supporting local charities like BFriend Group is part of that same commitment to the communities we serve.
