Summary

Join Good Neighbours at St Clare's at the Cathedral to learn how you can be a befriender to visit an older person near you. It's flexible, convenient & fun!

Detailed description

Befriending an older person in your local area takes just 30-60 minutes, fortnightly or weekly. It fits into your life, and you gain a new friend. You can learn more about Coventry life & history, and feel great that you've made a housebound older person feel less lonely.


You will be carefully matched by your shared hobbies and interests. Support is available at any time, should you need it.


Come to this information session on Monday 15/09/2025 9:30am St Clare's at the Cathedral (city centre) CV1 5FB and explore befriending with us. People tell us it has changed their lives for the better more than they ever expected.

Getting there

The venue is right beside the Coventry Cathedral and right in front of the Herbert Art Galley and Museum
