Befriending
Get paired up with a befriender with similar interests, who will visit you at home or give you a weekly friendship call.
Social activities
Our local ͵ÅÄ͵¿ús are a doorway to a huge variety of social events, friendship clubs for older people and local leisure activities.
What's on in my area?
Each local ͵ÅÄ͵¿ú has its own unique timetable of clubs and classes – what runs at one ͵ÅÄ͵¿ú will be different to a neighbouring one. Examples include:
- Arts & Crafts
- Bridge group
- Coffee mornings
- Friendship clubs
- Men in Sheds
- Photography club
- Pub lunch
- Quizzes
- Tea dance
You may need to book a place in the class and you will usually pay a small amount to take part.
Make friends through ͵ÅÄ͵¿ú
Cafés and lunch clubs
Our cafes and restaurants are a place for people to meet friends old and new! You also have the option to join a lunch club.
Day Centres
If you’re looking for companionship and need extra care, day centres offer social activities, hot meals and much more.
Why take up a social activity?
- They can help us to maintain social connections and reduce feelings of loneliness
- It’s a great way to learn a new skill or revisit a hobby you used to enjoy
- Taking part in social activities is shown to help us to stay sharp in later life
