Para 1.20 | From November 2023 the group met regularly every week for 3 lunches with up to 12 attending each lunch. A short break in March and April to restructure with smaller groups due to the increasing frailty of the people attending. New weekend theatre trips and Sunday lunches at a local hotel were introduced to help alleviate loneliness over the weekend. The exercise group has grown in popularity and is helping to maintain the mobility of the attendees and keeping them fit and active so they can take part in activities in the community. So, the charity funds 2 exercise groups now. New people have joined the group and new friendships and connections are being maintained outside of the group activities.
