This week, we will be meeting with Delphine Chui from the CareDogs charity. This organisation supports individuals over 55, who may be feeling lonely or isolated, to connect with and adopt rescue dogs. During this session, you can learn more about the importance of having a dog at home, intergenerational friendships, and community events you can get involved with (including a virtual dog drawing class)!

Welcome to the Young at Heart group, hosted by the Croydon BME Forum. This is a FREE weekly session for those aged 65+, allowing people from all over the borough to socialise and learn something new. We also welcome elders from outside of the borough that may be shielding or feeling isolated.

We try and make sessions, fun, sociable and inclusive. We aim to improve the mental health and wellbeing of all that attend.

Previous topics we have covered include: high blood pressure, diabetes myths, positive thinking techniques, Neighbourhood Watch, cybercrime, hearing loss, and poetry. We also host interactive holiday-themed events, such as our Christmas Party.

When: EVERY Wednesday from 3pm-4:30pm

Where: Online / Zoom (https://us02web.zoom.us/j/3852076159) – the link is always the same!
