Our projects
Bringing people together is the core of all that we do. We all crave connection, no matter what our age - it’s what makes life worth living! As well as one-to-one befriending and regular activities and events, we have designed and developed projects with quality connection at their heart.
Link Online
Opening doors to digital group activities, services and interests for Link Friends with borrowed tablet computers and individual coaching and support.
Link to Nature
An ongoing seasonal project designed to re-awaken an interest in nature, enrich friendships and improve wellbeing. Including regular outings, events and talks.
Active Minds
Specifically designed for those experiencing symptoms of cognitive impairment, our group sessions offer the chance to improve confidence and make new friends.
Link Thursdays
Link Thursdays at Space for All is a weekly community space and café where we host activities, friendship tables and most importantly offer a warm welcome.

Helping older people to get moving again with gentle exercise after the long period of lockdown in a safe and welcoming environment.
Joan’s story
Joan came to chair yoga and told us it was only the second time she had left home in the past year. “I was very anxious about coming along and last night had thought of all sorts of excuses I could make not to come, but in the end, I got myself dressed, put my makeup on and made it! I really enjoyed the session and loved having a good chat with people afterwards. I’m so glad I was encouraged to make that first step to get out. Looking forward to the next one now!”
Activities and events
Social connections are key to our wellbeing and having something fun in the diary to look forward to can make all the difference. From Singalong to Bowls, there’s something for everyone.
