What's On
Yealmpton and Brixton Community Friendship Project - November 2026 Newsletter
Happy
November Everyone!
As
we head into the darker winter months, those of us who live alone may begin to
feel lonely or isolated. Perhaps you have a relative, friend or neighbour who
would benefit from regular companionship, a listening ear, gentle
encouragement, and the reassurance of knowing that someone cares.
The
Yealmpton and Brixton
Community Friendship Project is a Free service, has volunteers
from all walks of life who are trained, DBS checked, and ready to offer support
and companionship.
Sadly, due to a lack of support, from the end
of October we will no longer be able to offer our Friday morning Parent and
Carer Drop-In sessions.
Building
friendships and reducing isolation remain at the heart of what we do. We would
welcome any suggestions from our community about other ways we can help people
connect, support one another, and develop a stronger sense of belonging.
If
you feel you would benefit from one-to-one befriending, please do not hesitate
to get in touch using the details below. I will be delighted to discuss how we
may be able to help. Alternatively, you are very welcome to drop into the
Community Centre on Tuesday or Friday mornings for a chat.
