The Social Network
THE SOCIAL NETWORK
Welcome to The Social Network – Our new social group for the 50+ community in Donaghmore and surrounding areas.
The Social Networks aim is to connect the community and create an evolving over 50s project that will meet the ever-changing needs and tastes of a thriving over 50s community.
No matter what your physical mobility, or ability, the network will aim to have something for you to make you feel as valued as you should be within the community.
Our future aim is to establish more partnerships & activities in direct response to our member’s needs.
When do we meet?
Our weekly session runs every Wednesday at 12noon.
No need to book, just come along any week that suits – New members always very welcome!!
The current structure is a Quiz on the first Wednesday of the month and Bingo on the last Wednesday of the month, with relevant talks/entertainment/exercise between these two Wednesdays.
The group also attend events, concerts, and activities outside of the regular Wednesday morning session.
From April 2024 we have secured funding to run a Cinema Club in Bardic Theatre thanks to funding from Radius Housing.
First showing will be Friday 12 April, 7:30pm - FREE Admission. Keep an eye out for further details.
