Our sessions are all about community connections for the over 50s of South Tyneside. They bring people together, help maintain social connections, reduce isolation and can improve health and mental wellbeing. As well as the regular sessions, shown below, we have many one-off activities (e.g. Coach Trips) and short courses (e.g. Digital Inclusion classes) provided throughout the year. Notifications and details of these activities/courses will be put on our noticeboard and on our facebook page.
