Here are some comments from those who have already joined         their local Talkin' Table.

I can't recommend Talkin' Tables enough.

It's like 1 big happy family and has

definitely helped build my confidence

up. So thank you to all you lovely people

it means a lot to be part of something so

special xx


After losing my husband and moving to

a new area, I hadn't met people and felt depressed and lonely. 

Talkin' Tables has changed all that and I now have amazing friends and go out and do things. 

We are there for each other at any time. 

It's brilliant!

After retiring and then having a serious

illness, my confidence was shattered.

Having no family near me I felt like I didn't matter anymore. Joining Talkin' Tables has given me some fabulous new friends that I can connect with. I know I can count on them to be there for me. I now go with my new friends not only to Talkin' Tables meetings but on

trips shopping, cinema lunch etc. It has

been a lifeline for me and everyone else

who has joined. What a marvellous idea

this is and thank you to all the ladies and gents who give their time up to help others.


 I knew no one here and thought

my life here was going to be a lonely

one then I joined Talkin' Tables and it

certainly turned my life around. I have

met absolutely lovely ladies and gents

too. My life is far from lonely and I have

made friends with some amazing people.


At Talkin’ Tables, we work with awesome local businesses to create facilitated inclusive spaces that allow people to meet & connect with others in their community.

How Talkin' Tables Works

Each of the businesses we partner with hosts their Talkin’ Table for one hour at a time. The tables are free for anyone to join, and a table leader is present for the hour to welcome people to the table and act as a point of contact for the charity.

1. Find your Talkin’ Table

The “Talkin’ Tables” are the ones marked with the small sign inviting you to sit and join in. 

2. Get Comfortable

This is a safe, inclusive space so pull up a chair and enjoy the company of others. 

3. Enjoy the conversation

Remember to always be kind and respectful
