We run friendship and social groups aimed at different target groups. At the heart of it, we are trying to reduce isolation in the community and provide an opportunity for people to meet, and ideally, make new friends along the way.

Some of our groups enjoy either light refreshments, i.e. tea/coffee or enjoy a home-cooked lunch.

The role is very varied, and for some of the groups, it can involve helping in the kitchen. You will no doubt draw on some existing skills and probably learn some new ones along the way. We’re always keen to hear about new ideas and interests to share with current groups, or for establishing new groups/activities.
