My Sight Newark Social Group
Our Social Group at My Sight Newark meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month at Howes Court with a Arts and Garden Club on the last Tuesday of the month. It’s run by our friendly volunteers, who will welcome you with a smile and a cuppa.
What is the Social Group?
The Social Group is a gathering for people with sight loss. It’s a chance to meet new people, make friends, and take part in a wide range of activities in a relaxed, supportive environment.
Activities include:
-
Arts and crafts
-
Board games and quizzes
-
Days out
-
Guest speakers and live music
-
And much more!
There is always something fun happening, and it’s a great way to stay connected with your local community.
