Clare Cultural Companions is an Age & Opportunity Arts Initiative funded by the Creative Ireland Programme, comprising of a network of older people, interested in arts and culture, who attend events together as a group. Its aim is to provide increased opportunities for older people to engage with Ireland’s vibrant arts and cultural scene. Volunteer members are facilitated by the Clare Age Friendly Programme to draw up a calendar of events to choose from every two months. All members receive the calendar of events, posted out by the volunteers, and independently book for the events they wish to attend. The members meet up at an allocated time prior to some events and attend together, usually with a social get together built in. 

The Clare Cultural Companions initiative is supported by the Clare Arts Office and Clare Older People’s Council.
