The Cultural Companions Programme has proved to be very popular, with over 125 members signed up to date. Our February-April calendar of events which has been put together by our volunteers has just been issued with 8 upcoming events to look forward to over the next three months. Before each event members meet up at a chosen venue and a volunteer welcomes everyone before attending the event together. This is a great way to meet and socialise with new people and attend events as a group.
