What are our Groups Like?
Open, friendly, stimulating, confidence-building. We’re all volunteers so we all pitch in. If we have a goal, it’s to make the most of everything living in London has to offer.
Who leads our Groups?
One or two coordinators. These are members who have an interest in a subject or activity and have generously volunteered to run a Group.
Where do Groups meet up?
Depending on size and needs, members meet in members’ homes, the town hall, a pub, a café or the park. Or in a theatre, cinema, opera house, or art gallery. Or, on a longer walk, members venture miles outside Islington.
Fancy leading a Group yourself?
If you're interested in coordinating a Group, our Groups Support Lead would love to give you an idea of exactly what that involves. She’s a mine of information on venues, duration, frequency and admin. Something current Coordinators say is that, in return for giving their time and expertise to run a Group, what they get in return is the huge satisfaction of sharing a lifetime’s experience with other members.
