18-25 social groups
Thanks to funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, we are excited to have launched new social groups for young people aged 18-25 living across Maidstone, Ashford and Swale.
These new groups will meet informally four times a year and all activity costs will be fully covered. The sessions are a great way to meet new people, make friendships, try new things and reduce social isolation and anxiety. All the activities will be chosen by the group with an initial planning meeting to gather people’s ideas. Suggestions we have received so far include bowling, cinema trips and rock climbing.
Our Wellbeing Coach will be on hand to facilitate all of the sessions and provide any additional mental health signposting and support that is required.
Our next scheduled activities are:
Thursday 25th June 6.30pm
Urban Street Golf and Pool – Gravity at Lockmeadow, Maidstone.
Urban Street Golf takes everything you love about crazy golf and gives it a bold, modern twist — packed with creative obstacles, playful challenges, and a lively indoor setting. We will be meeting at 6pm to get ready for a round of golf and then afterwards, we’ll head to the pool tables in Hollywood Bowl opposite for a drink and a game of pool!
Thursday 16th July 5.30pm
Shuffleboard and Interactive Darts – The Light, Sittingbourne.
A mix of curling, bowling and pétanque, across a 14ft shuffleboard table! It will see you put your skill and strategy to the test as you slide your puck to score points.
