Local Groups in Stoke Mandeville
Sometimes a local group is all you need to seek advice, meet new faces, learn a new skill, or simply join in with your community for a sense of belonging.
Our Never Alone programme is designed to provide support for loneliness and other emotional and practical needs plus promote general wellbeing. We have recommendations to local groups who may be able to help you. Finding the right one that meets your needs or interests can be very fulfilling and truly boost your mood.
If you have a local group you would like to add to the listing below, please submit your details via the Google form here.

Would you like to join an amateur dramatics group or a choir?
Exploring music can be good for the soul. You can join music appreciation classes or join the church choir. Dancing is also a wonderful way to meet new people and have fun.
Music at St Mary's
Music at St Mary’s is for all comers – you don’t necessarily have to be able to read music, and we don’t hold auditions. We rehearse on Friday evenings for both services, and this is usually followed by a social evening at one of the local pubs.
