We meet in cafes
We meet in homes
Lovely friendly, safe chat clubs are held in local cafes and care facilities for everyone to belong again, whilst making new friends.
It's where loneliness is not an elephant in the room.
We want to give you a boost with our newsletter each month, because we are hoping that you'll take a chance and step out of the house. Coming for a cuppa with us in a local cafe or care home is a great way to escape loneliness, have some company, make new friends and remember that you do belong and have importance.
Everyone who comes to TCCC has struggled with loneliness from the Founder, volunteers and guests.
We have regained our value, sense of purpose and belong again.
We want to welcome you so you can heal, recover and help others too.
Every day we see people connecting over the craziest of things.
Neighbours meet, new people to the area meet other like minded souls, blind/stroke/cancer victims get support and regain confidence with and in one another.
Chitter Chatter clubs are branching out Nationwide now as this pilot model works and has built new worlds for thousands of Dorset people.
People now meet outside TCCC, have lunches, shopping trips, company at hospital visits, phone calls in the evenings. We've had one wedding, one funeral and 3 lots of people have holidayed (succesfully) together.
