Friday Group

A Friday afternoon social group that arranges a schedule of music, talks, quizzes and outings for the elderly. Our aim is for this to be a friendly supportive group run to meet the needs and suggestions of those involved.

Speakers are invited from the local council, police and other local services as well as Guide Dogs, RSPCA, National Trust, local authors, companies and groups. It is an opportunity to meet old friends, make new friends and enjoy face to face socialising. Drinks and cakes are always provided. There is a membership of approximately 35 people in the group.

Easy Movers

Mondays Easy Movers is for people who are new to exercise, they may be older, recuperating from ill health or an operation or just wanting to maintain fitness. The class is seated and led by a professional instructor.

Our Monday class at The Community Hub attracts a group of around 30 people who benefit from the flexibility exercise and a chance to mix and chat afterwards.
Our Wednesday session is held at Breedon on the Hill to which we provide transport.

Help At Hand

We assist with advice or for clients who need help we are able to complete or advise on form filling, sort out phone and laptop resets, change batteries and light bulbs and in some cases will undertake gardening tasks.

We will not carry out just any task, we may refer them to experienced advisors or tradesmen where specific skills or qualifications are needed.

GP Social Prescribing Initiative

We work closely with the Castle Donington GP Surgery to enable our services to be used for social referral. This co-operation is identifying residents who may need further social help.
