The Oswestry Oddfellows provide opportunities for older adults in the area to make new local friendships in the area.
The Oswestry Oddfellows, a friendly society which provides opportunities for older adults in the area to make new local friendships, is inviting people to assess their social circles to see if they could benefit from making new connections.The invitation is part of the society’s Friendship Month celebrations this September, where its members are hosting special taster events in Oswestry to help people plug any friendship gaps and experience the benefits of joining a community-based social group.
Val Curtis, 91, from Oswestry, joined the group just over six months ago and urges anyone looking to make some new connections to do the same. She said: “I am really enjoying the Oddfellows. I enjoy the company and the friendship – it’s a really nice crowd of people and they have made me feel very welcome.”
In addition to the coffee and cake for Friendship Month, which takes place in the Memorial Hall on Festival Square at 10am on Wednesday 20 September, the Oswestry Oddfellows also enjoys a regular lunch on the second Thursday of each month at 12.45pm, a monthly coffee morning on the last Monday of each month at 11am, a seated exercise class on Mondays at 2pm, as well as regular theatre and coach trips. A Brass Band concert is also planned for the end of October.
“I advise taking stock of your friendship network at regular stages in your life, look at your own social wellbeing and identify what needs to change to ensure you feel fulfilled and supported by those around you.”
