Chat Central
Chat Central
Chat Central supports people to try new things and find community groups and volunteering roles which match their passions and interests. Participants receive a warm welcome and experience a safe and supportive environment, enabling them to explore a range of activities, events and roles.
We work with adults from across Coventry who join Chat Central for a diverse range of reasons. Whether new to the city, recently bereaved, retired, dealing with an illness or condition or just out of practice with socialising. We aim to reduce loneliness and isolation and build confidence amongst our participants.
Chat Central offers fun, free sessions, introducing participants to affordable clubs and groups across the city. As we get to know participants, we host events and plan visits which appeal to them, meaning that no two months at Chat Central are ever the same. As confidence grows, friendships are formed, skills are uncovered and connections are made.
