Summary
Join Good Neighbours Coventry at Papp's Cafe by Coundon library to learn how you can be a befriender to visit an older person. It's flexible, convenient & funDetailed 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 Tuesday 07/01/2025 10am at Papp's Café 75 Moseley Avenue Coundon CV6 1HR and explore befriending with us. People tell us it has changed their lives for the better more than they ever expected.
