What we’re about
Hi. I'm keen to help our city feel more connected and know it's sometimes hard as we get older to make new friends. I'm in my 60s and have moved around a lot, divorced later in life and the kids have families of their own, so I know this to be true. But rather than feel socially isolated or lonely, I thought if I was wanting to connect with more people, maybe other people would too. This new group is for over 45's who are keen to expand their social connection and contribute to the occasional volunteering opportunity as a once off and help our community become more connected. We'll meet initially fortnightly on a Saturday evening or afternoon depending on the activity. It's going to be about having loads of fun, trying new things and being a blessing to our community. Sometimes it will be a dinner out, other times we might go to a music event or hire a room and do our own dance club. There'll be times when we have a dinner speaker or go for a gentle hike. Maybe a boat ride. There's plenty of options for us. There will be plenty of ideas and plenty of new friends to be made. Come and join us and turn strangers into new friends!
