Leisure Guide

About this guide

The Active Healthy Lives health promotion programme for older people at the PCT and the Senior Citizens' Forum have worked together to produce this guide. We want to support everyone to stay socially active and involved into later life.
Lots of voluntary organisations, housing schemes, parish councils, faith groups and many hard working individuals run activities all over the borough - these are just some of the things you can take part in.

Getting to clubs Some groups can arrange transport,
or club members will offer lifts to neighbours - ask the
organiser when you phone.

Pre-book transport with Dial a ride on 01952 211477.


Please call and check with the organiser before going to a group as details can & do change!

Thank you!

Many thanks to all those who worked hard to produce this booklet, especially Jean Gulliver, who spent many hours on the phone checking the entries were correct at time of going to press.
If your club, group or society is not listed & would like to be included next time, please call the Forum: 01952 211410
