We recently celebrated one year since we started the Social & Skills Club 🎉
One year of helping people connect.
One year of bringing our community together.
One year of creating a space where people feel safe, welcome and able to try something new.
Here's what we achieved in one year:
✅ Started small, in our own office, with a handful of friendly faces
✅ Grew into our own space at That Meeting Space in the heart of Melksham
✅ Made it monthly, every third Wednesday, 1:30-3:30pm
✅ Bingo, Bingo with a Twist, quizzes and natters, board games and craft sessions
✅ Multiple sessions covering different skills and topics, so there's always something new to learn, with ideas chosen by the people who come along
✅ Skills-sharing mini workshops and seasonal celebrations
✅ Kept it as accessible to attend, with no booking needed, so nobody is left out
✅ Introduced gentle movement with our first taster exercise session
✅ Celebrated our 1st birthday with food, music and cake
✅ Got featured in the Melksham Independent News
✅ And most importantly, new friendships that carry on long after 3:30pm
Thank you to everyone who has made this possible 💛 To the people who helped set up, pour the teas and plan the sessions, and to everyone who showed up to learn, laugh and simply be together, this club is yours.
We're only one year in and we've got so much more planned.
