A charity committed to eradicating loneliness and isolation in Southampton has helped organise a new friendship club in the city bringing together young children, its service users and care home residents.
The club is a partnership between Communicare, Mayflower Court Care Home and the Mason Moor and St Mary’s Primary Schools. It held its inaugural event recently – linking with Global Intergenerational Week (April 24-30).
Tricia Kenyon, Service Development Officer at Communicare explains: “We’re delighted to have been involved in helping start this brilliant new group at Mayflower Court Care Home on Westwood Road; helping bring together the generations. It’s a wonderful collaboration that we hope will give lots of joy and some super socialisation opportunities to all those involved.”
The Mayflower Friendship Club will take place at Mayflower Court Care Home on Westwood Road on Tuesdays each week from 2pm until 3pm, during the summer term.
