A social network for Clare\u2019s older citizens interested in arts, culture, volunteering and meeting new people. Many of us would probably go to a lot more plays, films, shows, concerts, exhibitions or other events if we had someone to go with. There\u2019s a thriving social and arts scene out there to be enjoyed if only we had someone with the know-how or the shared interest to get us going. That\u2019s where Cultural Companions comes in.<\/p>\n

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 and pay for the event\u00a0they 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.\u00a0Events in Clare County Library, gl\u00f3r and Arts are among those included in each Calendar and this project encourages cross-sectoral co-operation among members of the Culture Team. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
