In 2016 Jane set up a community group to enable her to invite people to join her for social events. The groups were launched and have established a welcome presence in the heart of East Cowes. The groups are held weekly and they are all held within Parkside Pavilion. We have new people joining us on a regular basis, If you know someone who is struggling and would benefit from good company, laughter and activities please point them our way. We feel we have groups that will suit most people, there is never a problem if people want to come for the company and not take part in the activity.
Activities
The weekly groups are:
Tuesday 1.30-3.30pm Mental Wellness.
Wednesday 10.30-12.30pm Crafty Knit & Natter.
