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.
