The aim of the project is to organise the following social events to improve mental wellbeing, form friendships and alleviate social isolation and loneliness: Three away day trips - one to a beach and two to rural areas for a country walk. Packed lunch, snacks and juice will be provided for participants and volunteers; Two cinema visits - ticket, snack and drink provided; Outing to a restaurant for a meal; Opportunity to swim at the local pool – admission will be paid. The vast majority of our attendees never get to experience activities such as these. Along with the physical benefits of walking, swimming etc there is the benefit of a sense of belonging, confidence building, and the enjoyment activities many people take for granted can bring.
