Summary

Join Good Neighbours in Tesco Crosspoint cafe 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 29/1/2025 10:30am Tesco Crosspoint Walsgrave CV2 2SH 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 located by Showcase cinema. Tesco cafe is inside the store, turn right (NOT the Greggs cafe)
