What’s on
We offer a vibrant mix of weekly and monthly activities designed around what our Link Friends enjoy most.
From lively social gatherings and music sessions to crafts, quizzes, bowls, community meals, and seasonal events, there’s truly something for everyone, and always a warm welcome.
You will need to be a Link Friend or volunteer to attend. If you have any questions, please contact us and we'll get back to you, or give us a call on: 0118 979 8019.
Coming up this month…
Sunita’s story
Sunita, 91, reached out because her stage 3 kidney disease was stopping her from socialising and staying active, leaving her feeling isolated.
We introduced Sunita to our Chair Yoga course, specially designed to offer both physical exercise and social interaction
Sunita has now completed two 6-week courses, and she’s noticed significant improvements in both her physical well-being and social life. Reflecting on her experience, Sunita says, "I enjoy coming here; the people are lovely, and Link is such a fantastic organisation for older people. [It is] absolutely a gift to have this opportunity at our age.” *Names changed
Something for everyone
Last year, we were delighted to run 180 regular weekly or monthly activity sessions, with an incredible 2,350 attendances from Link Friends. This doesn’t include our parties, one-off events, special outings and our Christmas programme!
We are thrilled that 35% of Link Friends attend our activities. We also support Link Friends to join local community groups.
What we’ve been up to recently…
“At Singalong, everyone remembers my name.
I feel so welcome. It’s a lovely atmosphere, and we have a laugh together. I’ve made a lot of new friends. Being part of the Link has been amazing; I never knew this kind of thing existed.”
Adrian’s story
Adrian is one of our fantastic volunteers who gives up his time to get involved: “I first got involved through Community Kitchen, a monthly event where we come together to cook and eat Sunday lunch together. It’s such a rewarding thing to do, to spend time with our Link Friends who have so much life experience and so many interesting stories.
It’s an amazing experience and I learn from it every day. I just love spending time with our Link Friends.”
