Friday Social
Connection, Conversation & Community
Looking for a welcoming and lively way to spend your Friday? Our Friday Social group is for people aged 55 and over who still have a lively spirit and enjoy keeping busy, meeting others, and making the most of their Fridays.
As one of our most popular weekly groups, you can expect connection, fun, and variety. It’s a vibrant, member-led space where friendships grow, and no two weeks are ever quite the same.
Each session brings a mix of chat, entertainment, and activities chosen by the group itself. From guest-led sessions and reminiscence workshops to dancing, books, and occasional days out, there’s always something to look forward to. For many members, Friday Social is the highlight of the week, a regular space to relax, laugh, and feel part of something.
Tea, coffee, and biscuits are always included, and new members are warmly welcomed.

Meet the Facilitator
Sarah Maillardet
As the facilitator, I lead relaxed, engaging sessions focused on connection, enjoyment, and meaningful interaction. Activities are thoughtfully adapted to suit different abilities and include social time, creative activities, gentle games, and shared experiences that encourage conversation and familiarity.
The group aims to reduce isolation, support wellbeing, and create a sense of belonging in an environment where everyone feels comfortable, respected, and included.
