My Sight Bassetlaw Social Group

 

Our Social Group at My Sight Bassetlaw meets on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month at Worksop Library. 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.
