OPAL Clubs provide a weekly opportunity for older people to get out of the house and to enjoy the companionship of others, fun activities, with plenty of tea, biscuits, chat and laughter thrown in.
Some may have difficulty accessing transport, are at risk of loneliness or social isolation or may have a carer. A fun and varied range of activities is organised and at most Club’s a hot 2 course lunch is served. Transport to and from the Clubs can be provided if needed by our friendly volunteer drivers.
