Local Groups and Events for Older People in Coventry

As the population ages in the UK, it becomes ever more important to ensure there are opportunities for elderly people to get involved in wider society. Increasingly, older people are staying home for longer periods of time as their mobility decreases, but thanks to a wealth of lunch clubs springing up across the nation this trend is in decline.

If you live in Coventry, the good news is there are many varied groups local to you, and all offer the perfect opportunity for you or your elders to meet new friends and enjoy a sociable atmosphere.

Lunch Clubs
