How does this help me?
Our social groups are a fantastic way to meet new people, discover new talents, build confidence and socialise.
Activities and clubs include indoor climbing, cycling, bowls, talks, outings such as canal boat trips, arts and crafts such as stone carving and resin art, and other general activities. We are constantly adding new activities and events, so check out our events calendar or get in touch!
Every social group is different, but all groups are friendly and full of fun.
Some Kind Words About Our Services
“The group seems to be growing and it is so nice that everyone is in the same boat and understand. We get to learn about and do lots of different things which are interesting. Everyone loves going for a chat and Mildred works so hard to run the group. My highlight this year was the recent Coronation Party in May as with the funding received we could really go to town on it which was great”
“Back in July, I went on my second day trip out on the Narrowboat with members of Vision Support, cruising from Christleton to Beeston, and we had lunch at The Shady pub. The crew from the Wirral Community Narrowboat Trust were great. I enjoyed the scenic views, the delicious pub food, and chatting with everyone. The relaxing and happy atmosphere was great for me mentally. I hope to be going back for a third time.”
“It’s nice being with people in the community, being at the crafts sessions. I don’t feel as isolated now and everyone, including myself has made more friends. All of the smiles you see when you walk through the door and everyone is genuinely happy to be there together. The Creative Art session is marvellous, I don’t know how you all think of so many crafts to do! I always find each session so different and I’m always excited to see what is on. I’ve been very proud of what I’ve achieved, I never thought these art sessions were for me but I’ve enjoyed it so much! After each session, I can’t wait to get home to show my wife what I’ve made.”
“Earlier this year, I was incredibly fortunate to secure a spot in the stone carving course at Mount Pleasant Gardens—an opportunity that exceeded any hope I had. As someone registered as severely sight impaired, I had some hesitations about what I could achieve. But with guidance that was not only clear but also sensitive and thoughtful, I created a piece that I could only have imagined. I am beyond proud of what I made. Sharing this experience with others who faced similar challenges to artistic expression was a moving and humbling experience. The camaraderie and mutual respect were palpable, leaving me with a sense of belonging and validation that I will carry with me”
“Thank you so much for a wonderful experience on the climbing wall. It was something that I had always wanted to do but never got round to it.”
