Wellbeing groups for over-50s meet in South Shields and Hebburn
Age Concern South Tyneside charity runs Stepping Stone groups twice a week in South Shields and Hebburn, providing a friendly and supportive space for people over 50 to meet and share experiences.
Wellbeing groups for people over 50 with regular meet ups take place in South Shields with everyone welcome.
Age Concern South Tyneside, a charity that provides a wide range of services to support older people to make the most out of later life, runs Stepping Stone groups twice a week.
The groups are a friendly, supportive place to meet others, share experiences, and enjoy time together.
They take place on Fridays between 11am and 1pm at St John’s Church, Canning Street, Hebburn and on Thursdays, between 10am to 12pm at Beach Road Community Room, South Shields.
ACTS, via social media, shared two comments received after the groups.
The first said: “I feel lucky to have found the group. Before, I was sitting at home doing nothing. Now I’m out most days.”
Another person said: “I don’t have any friends. The people at this group are my friends.”
The charity said: “They remind us of the real difference connection, friendship, and a welcoming space can make.”
