Goodwins Hall Care Home is excited to announce the launch of its new Friendship Café, a welcoming space designed to bring together members of the local community looking for companionship and conversation. Whether you’re looking to make new friends or simply enjoy a chat, cuppa and great cake, the Friendship Café is the perfect place to be.
Flavia Hansell, Home Manager at Goodwins Hall, highlighted the increasing problem of loneliness in our busy modern lives. “Loneliness is an increasing problem in our busy communities and busy lives,” she noted. “We want people to feel they can come along here and always be assured of a friendly welcome from our residents and from our team.”
The Friendship Café is not just for older people but will welcome anyone from the community. Whether you’re young or old, you’ll find great cake, a refreshing drink, and plenty of friendly faces eager to get to know you. This new initiative represents Goodwins Hall’s commitment to fostering strong community links and ensuring that everyone feels included and valued.
The café will take place on the last Friday of the month, starting on July 26th, from 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM. To kick things off, the first gathering will feature a fun “speed dating” format. This approach encourages everyone to move around and chat with various other people, making it easy to break the ice and form new connections.
Following this initial event, the Friendship Café sessions will feature a different theme, likely to be chosen by the attendees or tied to a national awareness day, ensuring an enjoyable experience every time.
Goodwins Hall invites everyone to come along and support this wonderful new club.
“Come along and support this new club – we will make sure it’s fun and you could make some great new friends,” said Flavia. “We look forward to seeing you there.”
