Helen & Patti, our Karis Befriends Project Workers

The Karis Befriends project is about supporting older people who feel isolated and lonely, encouraging and enabling older people to connect and flourish later in life. We visit and befriend people in their own homes and also through regular social events and trips.

We also offer the Karis Befriends Advice Project, which helps with benefit checks, welfare queries, completing paperwork and making phone calls about benefits etc.

We continue to work in mainly Ladywood, Harborne and Edgbaston areas.

Our regular and upcoming events are listed below. All our activities are free of charge.
