Staying connected is important!

Age UK Islington has teamed up with Whittington Park Community Centre to offer a relaxed taster session of their regular weekly men's group which is followed by lunch (£5). Why not give it a try? 

Men's Social & Lunch (for all ages)

Thursday 18 June, 12.30 - 2pm

Whittington Park Community Centre, Yerbury Rd, Archway, London N19 4RS

Arrive at 11.30am to start with the Capoeira (open to men and women) or at 12.30pm in time for the Men's Club (free) followed at 1pm by a hot lunch (£5).

You'll need to book as there's limited places - see below for booking form, or call Age UK Islington on 020 7281 6018 (Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm).

Capoeira (Brazilian moves) 11.30-12.30pm (optional extra!)

Before lunch, why not try something a little different? Julio will be leading this popular Capoeira session, open to both men and women.

Capoeira is a Brazilian movement practice that combines gentle exercise, rhythm, coordination, and flowing movements inspired by martial arts and dance. It’s great for mobility, balance, fitness, and confidence.

Most importantly, it’s fun and suitable for all abilities (wear socks or trainers and your regular clothing - the looser fitting the better!).

Men’s Club, 12.30pm – 1pm

Drop in for a relaxed social session with darts, table tennis, coffee and conversation while lunch is prepared. Whether you come with a friend or on your own, you’ll receive a warm welcome.

Lunch, 1pm – 2pm (£5)

Enjoy a delicious homemade lunch:

Sweet Chilli Prawn & Rice
Vegetarian option available
Dessert to follow

£5 payable on the day (cash or card accepted)

Come for the exercise, stay for the company and good food!
