Friend to Friend is a local charity offering a wide range of activities for older people in south Ki Everyone is treated as an individual.

Friend to Friend is a registered charity in rural South Kirklees, West Yorkshire. Our aim is to work with older people to enable them to improve their quality of life, combat loneliness and reduce isolation. We do this by providing a range of stimulating activities in accessible local venues. These include Armchair Exercise, lunches, a Men’s Group, activity groups, local history and interest groups, day trips and monthly get-togethers. All our members receive a regular newsletter and events, photos etc are posted regularly on our website, Twitter feed and page. Many older people can feel isolated for a variety of reasons; their families have moved away, they may have suffered bereavement, or they are new to the area (moving to be nearer family but leaving behind old friends). For whatever reason Friend to Friend exists to provide much needed companionship, activities to stimulate the mind and exercise groups to stay active. The majority of our members are over 70 years of age, with a range of needs.

It was lovely to see so many members at lunch today. They enjoyed a meal of Shepherds Pie with vegetables and orange cheese cake for dessert. Once again The Pleasant Pluckers came to entertain with some great songs. Jolene and Green Door to name but two and we all joined in to sing along. A BIG thank you to all volunteers who helped on the day and members, we couldn't do this without you! Jenny
