The purpose of our Senior Club is to break the isolation of our elders — who often arrived here several decades ago — and to offer them a place where they can rediscover the French language and the warmth of French conviviality.

Our values, at the heart of the Senior Club

Sharing and coming together in your mother tongue

Many of our French-speaking elders have lived in the United Kingdom for decades. Here they have built their lives, their families, their homes — but with age, distance and sometimes the loss of a loved one, isolation sets in. French becomes a language they hear less and speak less, even though it often remains the language of the heart.

The Dispensaire Français Senior Club was born of this simple observation: to offer, in Hammersmith, a regular place where French speakers can come together, talk, laugh, help one another and rebuild connections — without pressure, at their own pace, in a warm and familiar atmosphere.
