A new initiative aimed at local people wanting to socialise around the Ryelands area of Lancaster gets underway later this month.
Ryelands Community Connect launches on Wednesday, September 30, and aims to become a friendly place to meet, chat and enjoy a free hot drink.
The event will take place every Wednesday after that between 12:30pm and 2:30pm at St Chad’s Church Hall, off Torrisholme Road.
A spokesperson said: ‘’Come along to our welcoming community space where you can meet local people, socialise, enjoy free refreshments and have a game or two.
‘’Whether you fancy chess, dominoes, cards or simply a cuppa and a chat, everyone is welcome.
Different organisations will also join us each week to offer useful information, advice and support. There is no pressure to speak to anybody, but the help is there if and when you need it.’’
The events will be free to attend and no booking is required.
