My Sight Newark Social Group
We are currently running a waiting list for this group.
My Sight Newark social group meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month at Howes Court with an arts and garden club on the last Tuesday of the month. The group is run by our lovely, friendly volunteers who are happy to welcome you with a smile and cuppa.
The social group was set up with funding from the Big Lottery Fund and although this has come to an end the group is still running and going from strength to strength
The social group offers local people with sight loss the chance to get together, meet new people and take part in a broad range of activities. There is never a dull moment with activities such as arts and crafts, board games, quizzes, days out, guest speakers, musicians and so much more!
Please contact Sarah Briggs, Sight Loss Advisor at My Sight Notts on 0115 9706806 or email sarahb@mysightnotts.org.uk before visiting the group as you will need to complete a Medical and Emergency Contact Form.
