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.

Walking

Walking is a popular choice both for relaxation and fitness. If you would like to get outside a little more, it can quickly become an enjoyable activity, and there are many groups in your area who would love you to join them for beautiful country walks.

Tring Rambling Club

Tring Rambling Club was founded 50 years ago by enthusiastic local walkers, sharing their passion for nature with friends at a gentle pace, as its aim, today, is to combine physical exercise and, maybe more importantly, friendly, social gathering. Typically, the Sunday walk starts at 10.30am or 1pm. Cakes and biscuits are provided at the end of the walk.

Books

If you are interested in meeting fellow bookworms, there are reading groups in most towns for friendly discussions and thought-provoking debates. We can help pinpoint the perfect book group for you in your area.

Visual Impairment Reading Group

For readers of large print, talking books and BorrowBox, taking place every 6 weeks on Thursdays at Tring Library from 10.45am to 12.15pm. Refreshments are provided.

Hobbies

Having a wide choice of groups to pick up an old hobby or start a new one can be a wonderful way to meet new people with a similar interest to you.

We recommend local groups and clubs ranging from chess, bridge, poker, bingo, knitting, to bowls.

Thursday Fun Club

Play board games such as scrabble, chess, Connect 4 and more. Quiz sessions on many different topics and book and film reviews. Club is run by the My Voice volunteers at Tring Library, High Street, Tring, HP23 4AF every Thursday from 4.30pm – 5.30pm. Drop in sessions, everyone is welcome, all ages.

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.
