Get Out, Get Social! Befriending Socials Listings for Summer 26☀️

Across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire, our Befriending groups are creating welcoming spaces where over fifties can connect, socialise and enjoy.

These friendly sessions are designed to reduce isolation and build confidence through shared activities; whether a walk in fresh air, creative workshop, or simply a relaxed chat over a cup of tea.

Carmarthenshire: friendship, fresh air and friendly faces

In Carmarthenshire, a variety of weekly and fortnightly groups offer something for everyone. From Green Escapes, exploring scenic local spots, to Brew Buddies, where people meet in cafés and pubs for a chat, there are plenty of opportunities to get out and about. For those who enjoy staying active, Shake, Rattle & Stroll combines a gentle harbour walk in Burry Port with a well-earned cuppa afterwards. Creative minds can also join Crafty Crusaders at the Carmarthenshire Living Well Centre, featuring art, craft, and smartphone photography sessions on rotation.

Ceredigion: Creativity, Conversation and Community

Ceredigion’s programme offers a wide range of social and creative groups designed to suit different interests and lifestyles. Regular Green Escapes outings showcase the county’s beautiful landscapes, while Brew Buddies provides a relaxed café setting to meet others. There are also groups that focus on particular audiences and activities for example, LGBTQ+ friendly Pride in Age sessions, weekly social groups built around conversation, books and games, and creative spaces such as Craft & Community in Cardigan and Social Art Group in Aberystwyth.
