A little knitting, a little nattering and lots of lovely company! 🧶

Our Thursday knitting group is about more than what we create with our needles. It's also about sharing skills, chatting, having a laugh and enjoying time together.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just learning, there's something special about sitting around a table with others and being part of a group.

Our knitting group meets every Thursday from 10am–12 noon at Monifieth Activity Centre.

Who else loves a good knit and natter? 💚

What does friendship mean to you? 💙

Is it someone who makes you laugh? Someone who listens without judgement? Someone who remembers to ask how you're doing?

Friendship means different things to different people, but we all know how special it feels to be heard, valued and included.

This Befriending Week, we'd love to hear from you. Tell us in the comments: what do you value most in a friendship? 💚

Good food, good company and a chance to catch up! ☕💚

Our Men's Brunch is a great example of meaningful connections in action. It's a place to enjoy a roll, have a blether, play a game and spend time with others.

Sometimes it's the simple things that make an ordinary Tuesday something to look forward to.

Our Men's Brunch takes place every Tuesday from 11am–1pm at Monifieth Masonic Lodge, 2 Dalhousie Street.

Because friendship can start with something as simple as pulling up a chair.

Sometimes, a little company means a lot. 💚

A regular visit, a good chat, a shared laugh or someone taking the time to listen can make a real difference.

Through our one-to-one befriending service, our volunteers help build meaningful friendships with local people who may be experiencing loneliness or social isolation.

It's not about grand gestures. It's about showing up, getting to know someone and building a connection, one visit at a time.

That's the power of befriending. 💙

Today marks the start of Befriending Week 2026! 💚

This year's theme is Supporting each other through meaningful connections – something that means so much to us here at Monifieth Befrienders.

Friendship isn't always about doing something extraordinary. Sometimes, it's a friendly face, a listening ear, a cup of tea or knowing someone is there for you.

Throughout this week, we're celebrating the people, moments and connections that help make our community a little less lonely and a lot more connected.

Here's to friendship in all its forms! 💙

💙 Friendship Friday 💙

Friendship can brighten even the ordinary days.

We're curious...

What's the best advice a friend has ever given you? Or perhaps there's a friend you'd like to thank for always being there.

Share your answer in the comments, or simply tag someone who makes you smile. 😊

Let's celebrate the people who remind us that no one should feel alone.

🙋 YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AN EXPERT TO BE A BEFRIENDER.

You don't need special qualifications.
You don't need to have all the answers.
And you don't need to know exactly what to say.

You simply need to have time, kindness and a willingness to connect with someone.

Our Befrienders spend time getting to know their Friend – chatting, listening, sharing interests and helping someone feel a little less alone.

One hour a week could make a bigger difference than you realise.

💙 Could you become a Befriender?

The colder months can often be isolating for older people in our community.

Whether it's a phone call, a visit, a coffee or a chat over the garden fence, staying connected helps strengthen our community.
