Summary
Join Good Neighbours Coventry via Zoom online to learn how you can become 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 online information session on Thursday 09/01/2025 7:30pm and explore befriending with us. People tell us it has changed their lives for the better more than they ever expected.
