This report describes the Befriending and Costs of Caring (BECCA) project which involved family carers of community-dwelling relatives with dementia in three areas in England. The project aimed to determine the effectiveness of providing a social support intervention in the form of an employed befriending facilitator, whose role was to provide emotional support, in addition to the usual care and services provided.
