Social Activities

Our regular activities are welcoming, supportive and open to all. For some it’s a chance to play a friendly game of football, for others a chance to catch up with familiar faces over a coffee. In all cases it’s a chance to connect, with other people and your local community.

Take a look at the activities and locations below and see if there’s a group you might like to join, or drop us an email to find out more.
