In late June 2025, we held a vibrant and heartwarming workshop with a group of incredible volunteers who host Chatter & Natter tables, as well as many of the regular participants who attend these tables each week.
During the session, we asked open-ended questions to explore the impact the Chatter & Natter tables have had on individuals and their communities. We also discussed any unexpected moments that have arisen along the way, and heard about exciting ideas and hopes for the future.
The conversations captured in the attached document reflect the meaningful connections being built week by week. They clearly show how these tables are playing a key role in reducing loneliness and bringing people together.
We hope you enjoy reading this document as much as we enjoyed running the workshop and hearing these inspiring stories.
