WHO WE ARE
We get by with a little help from our friends
​
Sgt. Pepper's Friends started as a club attracting people from different communities, who for a variety of reasons, felt like they would like to make new friendships.
Over the past few years, Sgt. Pepper’s has been constantly evolving. What started as a good idea and a small club has grown quickly with a number of distinct initiatives, many members, friends and volunteers, as well as support from numerous partnerships and funders.
