Summary

Join Good Neighbours in the city centre at The Welcome Centre / CLM to learn how you can befriend 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 Sunday 15/06/2025 2:00pm CLM - city centre CV1 2HG and explore befriending with us. People tell us it has changed their lives for the better more than they ever expected.
