Social Groups

People talkingWhether you are an individual or part of a small group wanting to extend your social network, we aim to put people first and help them love their later life. There is no need to feel lonely or isolated. We have a willing group of volunteers or befrienders who can help you.

Some of the activities we run:

  • Day centres with organised activities
  • Weekly activities
  • Monthly get-togethers
  • Small friendly groups who are always looking for new members
  • Energetic activities for those who are fitter or want to improve their fitness
  • Occasional day trips to local tourist attractions

If you have any questions in relation to any of our groups and activities, or have any ideas for new groups please contact our Community Services Team who will be happy to help.
