Hadley Community groups call for new members
This weekend saw more than 20 local groups showcasing activities and memberships on offer for residents of all ages living in Hadley & Leegomery.
From a male choir, running, walking and friendship groups to an exercise support groups for people with Parkinson’s and breathing diseases such as emphysema. There really was something for all ages and abilities.
Councillor for Safer & Stronger Communities, Councillor Kelly Middleton said: “This community has so much on offer – I’ve been completely wowed by the variety of activities and support that’s available for people.
“We wanted to bring these groups together to showcase what’s on and hopefully help people to find something that brings them support, friendship and hopefully a new skill or friendship group. Don’t worry if you couldn’t make it as all the groups are looking for new members and more than happy to have a chat over the phone or for you to pop along and see if you like it.”
The event was hosted as part of the Safer & Stronger Communities project which aims to support communities with issues around safety but also help people who are keen to set up initiatives to reduce loneliness or encourage others to join or start activities that build pride and support.
