Karis BeFriends
Our Karis BeFriends project can help older adults across Ladywood, Edgbaston and Harborne to make new connections and continue to flourish into later life.
We reach out to those who feel isolated or lonely and can visit people at home with a view to connecting people to our activities in the community - giving people chance to get out and connect with others.
This includes our Time for Tea events, held bi-monthly at Queen Alexandra College in Harborne, and our Senior Life Group, weekly at Oasis Church just off the Harborne High Street.
We also host an Art Group which takes place every two weeks at our office in North Edgbaston, it's a relaxed and friendly environment led by one of our participants.
Alongside getting to know people and helping them to build connections, we do also offer a neighbourly helping hand, offering occasional help with practical tasks in the home, getting to an appointment, or connecting to other support.
