Befriending Week - the Good Friendship Group

 Befriending Week is all about celebrating the fantastic befriending organisations that we have in Merthyr Tydfil. The Good Friendship group is one of these organisations, here's some more information ..

 They are based at Dowlais Engine House and provide a warm, supportive group for people aged 50+ in the Merthyr area. They provide well needed contact, good will parcels and newsletters delivered in person via a doorstep drop. 100% of recipients valued not only the parcels but the human contact even behind visors and masks turning up at a set time, as some said was the highlight of the day. Befriending is a big part of the group role with its members. The group is now back meeting face to face again at the Engine House and the Community Garden.

 Here's what it means to individuals "“Weeks of lockdown were much more bearable knowing there was so much support and that help was just a phone call away, many, many, thanks”
