The group aims to provide respite for residents of Ferndown, often living alone and living with arthritis, or just needing friendship, but anyone living in Ferndown is welcome.

  • They meet on the first Saturday of the month, excluding January, at Ferndown Plus (previously known as Ferndown Day Centre) 14:00 – 16:00.
  • They provide an hour’s entertainment, followed by tea and cake.
  • They ask for a donation of £25 every October. Anyone joining during the ensuing year would be asked for a pro-rata donation.
  • An entrance fee of £5 is paid at the monthly meeting, and they hold a raffle at £1 per ticket (not obligatory).
  • Any new guest is not asked to pay an entrance fee on their first visit.
  • The group have their own customised 15 seater minibus, driven by qualified volunteer drivers.
  • They provide a door to door service for the monthly meetings to anyone who may have a difficulty in attending. There is no charge for this service.
  • They often have summer outings and a Festive Meal at Christmas time.
