Age UK's Friendship Centres are a great way to meet like-minded people and make friends in your area.
A Friendship centre is a group of active older people who meet on a regular basis for social activities which could include rambling, Tenpin Bowling, pub lunches, theatre visits, holidays and days out.
There are links to our Friendship Centres divided by area below. So get in touch with your local group to find out how you can get involved!
Please note that our Friendship Centres are not a befriending service.
To get in touch with any Friendship Centre, contact our National Social Development Officer, Diana Davies: diana.davies@ageuk.org.uk or 07795 548016 or 01827 830380 (an answerphone monitored regularly).
