Friendship Club @ Avenue St Andrew's

A social afternoon, bringing generations together.

Tuesdays during autumn and spring school terms.

A new multigenerational project started in September 2023, bringing a smile to the faces of residents from the Portswood and Banister Park areas of the city. Sixth form students from King Edward VI school are using their enrichment classes to volunteer at KES@AvenueStAndrews, which is a partnership project run by Communicare, Avenue St Andrews United Reformed Church and King Edward VI School. In our first 2 weeks, though the group is still new, our Projects Lead, Tricia spoke to at least 3 guests who rarely go out and for whom this has made a significant positive impact on their emotional wellbeing. All are welcome.
