Our group network is the rock upon which our charity was built over 50 years ago and remains an important part of the services we provide to our beneficiaries today.

Our groups provide an important forum for friendship and companionship at the heart of local community offering everything from visiting speakers, days out, theatre trips, pub lunches, walking activities, skittles and the odd session of Beetle Drive or Bingo!

Sadly with a drop in available volunteers to help run the groups the number we have operating has fallen in recent years, although we are always happy to discuss the opening of new groups with anyone interested.

UPDATE: Coming out of the pandemic

Most of our local groups have restarted their activities. You can find out more about their programmes by clicking on the relevant group page on the website. For those without a published programme we'd advise you to contact the Local Group contact for more information.

Finding your nearest group

To find our whether there's a group near you you can use our postcode search and if there is a group close to you it will show you more details. Please note: if no group shows then that means there is no operating group within 20 miles of your postcode.

If there is no telephone number listed on the group page or if you can't find a group local to you then do contact us on 020 8691 7411 as we'd be happy to help you further.
