About MTFG
The Make Time Friendship Group (MTFG) is an unincorporated organisation run by a committee of members, for members. Established in early 2009 for people who find it hard to meet and socialise due to a lack of confidence and low self-esteem, MTFG seeks to offer a welcoming environment which will enable individuals to overcome such reservations.
The Group provides an important meeting place for two hours every Wednesday for the lonely, elderly and those who feel isolated in the community and has become a source of support and help for individual members to develop their skills, self confidence and involvement with each other by sharing time together in worthwhile activities each time they attend members meetings.
