As Befriending Week comes to a close, we're celebrating the power of conversation and inviting more older adults to join our weekly group calls. 💜

For around five years, our much loved Friday Wee Blether has brought people together for friendship, laughter and great conversations. We've seen first-hand how a regular chat can brighten someone's week and help people feel more connected to their community.

Now we're looking to welcome even more people to our growing range of weekly calls, including:

📞 General chit-chats
👥 Men's Group
💻 Digital Club
⚽ Sports Call

Just one hour a week can make a real difference. Whether you're looking to meet new people, share interests, enjoy a laugh or simply hear a friendly voice, there's a warm welcome waiting for you.

If you or someone you know could benefit from joining one of our weekly calls, we'd love to hear from you.

🏃‍♂️📣 GO ELLIOT!

Tomorrow, our Marketing Manager, Elliot will be taking on the AJ Bell Great Scottish Run Half Marathon alongside Des Clarke, as one of Heart’s Half Marathon Heroes supporting Global’s Make Some Noise!

Over the last few years, Global’s Make Some Noise has provided incredible support to Glasgow’s Golden Generation, helping us continue our work with older adults across Glasgow — tackling loneliness, creating connections and ensuring people have somewhere to turn when they need support.

Their backing has made a real difference to our charity and the people we support. Now Elliot is pulling on his running shoes and doing his bit to give something back! 💛
