A message from Heather Hicks, our Chairman
After 16 rewarding years as Chairman of the House of Friendship, I’ve decided to step down at the AGM in August and let someone else take the lead.
We have started advertising for a new Chair and I have every confidence that the right person is out there somewhere.
If you think that person might be you, full particulars can be found on the Vacancies page of this website.All hot drinks here are £2 each - coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
NEW! Help with your phone!! We have phone experts coming into the House for drop in sessions. If you need any help or are feeling frustrated with your phone, come and see us between 11.00am and 12.30pm every Friday. No need to book.
NEW! Memory Choir

Our Annual Membership Fee (now due!) has gone up.
We have taken the difficult decision to raise our membership fee for 2023 to £15 for a single person and £25 for a couple. Many thanks to all those who have already renewed their membership.
We'd be grateful if other members would come in to pay their subscription soon.
If you are no longer able to come in to the House but would like to keep in touch, give us a ring on 01273 476469 to let us know. Thank you.
