There are various activities you can get involved in in your local community, meet new people in social and lunch clubs, develop new skills and find new hobbies and help others through volunteering opportunities.
The Council’s Neighbourhood Services Team works directly with older people in their neighbourhoods to ensure they have opportunities to stay involved in community activities. The team has supported the development of a number of successful social groups which are now run by older people (with help from the team where needed) in Caversham Park Village, Amersham Road, Southcote and Whitley Wood.
