Summary

Join Good Neighbours in The Brick Stop Café, Tile Hill 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 Thursday 22/01/2026 at 10:00am The Brick Stop Café (Cre8fun), 66 Elm Tree Ave, Coventry CV4 9ER and explore befriending with us. People tell us it has changed their lives for the better more than they ever expected.

The venue is located opposite Beech Street Fish Bar
