Café Culture Age UK Cranleigh Arts Centre Tea Room,
Wednesdays, 10.30am – 12.30pm
Meet new people and build friendship. Get to know others who live in your area and enjoy a weekly get-together and chat in a friendly environment by joining one of our weekly Café Culture groups. Anyone aged 50+ is welcome and no booking is required – just come along. People are welcome to come on their own or bring a carer or family members to join in with the conversations.
Age UK Surrey spokesperson said: “Many people do not see or speak to someone on a regular basis and therefore can become lonely and isolated. Café Culture is a great initiative that encourages people to get out of the house and make new friends in a social environment on a weekly basis.”
Terry, who attends the Cranleigh group, said: “When you retire, you lose about two thirds of your friends and acquaintances. I don’t have any family and I have lost some of my friends on top of this, so it gets a bit lonely. It’s nice to have somewhere to go where you can meet for a coffee and have a chat with new people and make new friends.”
