Summary

Join Good Neighbours in Holbrooks Library 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 information session on Monday 13/01/2025 1:00pm Holbrooks Library, Holbrook Ln, Coventry CV6 4DE and explore befriending with us. People tell us it has changed their lives for the better more than they ever expected.

Getting there

Holbrooks Library is inside Holbrooks Community Care Association's building - a small one-storey hut style building on the edge of the park. We will meet in the library IT suite / meeting room.
