Activities and events
Our Activities & Events Project actively combats loneliness by connecting isolated older people with their communities and support them to join group activities. Through our huge range of events, courses and clubs we provide plenty opportunities to meet like-minded people, take trips and learn new skills!
We create different opportunities for you to join in where our members, activities team and volunteers can interact in group sessions in different venues and via video on your computer, tablet or smart phone.

Walking Groups
Whether you are walking to improve your health or simply for the pleasure of exploring new places, our walking group makes making new friends and enjoying the great outdoors easy.
It is low impact exercise, so it is easy for you to get involved - even if you are not feeling your best. In fact, walking could help you feel great again! There’s usually a café stop at the end of the walk for those who would like to stay for lunch or coffee.
Please note walkers are not obliged to order at the café and you are welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks.
Please don’t forget to come with appropriate walking shoes, water bottle, warm and waterproof clothing.
