Explore our events and join
the fun-filled gatherings
with friendly faces.
Get involved -If you'd like to volunteer, please email thechitterchatterclub@gmail.com and share your reasons why and what you think you can bring to this programme.
Our Mission is to end loneliness by providing safe, friendly places where people can come and be social. By assuring a warm welcome to all, the chance to build new friendships, be involved in informal community support and improve physical and mental health we aim to reduce the impact loneliness has not only on the individual but on those services that they come to rely on.
We will do this by reaching out to intervene at the earliest stages in the lives of those suffering from loneliness through mass media invitations/health and wellbeing practitioners. Inviting guests to sign up for our Free Monthly Empowering Loneliness Recovery Newsletter and attend a CCC in their local area when they are able. Our aim is to establish more CCCC's across Dorset to build individuals' confidence , empower people and promote better mental health and social mobility. This opportunity provides access to making new friends at Free chat tables and through Free monthly nature walks, creating splinter groups, addressing loneliness beyond CCC's timetable and building stronger, friendlier and more resilient communities.
