It’s all change for the group

For unattached men and women in the Worthing area, there are plenty of things to do, and somebody who has been bringing local activities to local people is Jackie Thwaites.

In May 2019 Jackie became a co-ordinator for The Group, a Sussex club for unattached men and women aged 55+. Now, she says, it’s time to hang up her organiser’s hat and simply enjoy the activities that the club has to offer. Happily, was no difficulty in finding somebody to run the Worthing club. Jackie has handed over the reins to Wendy Wetherfield.

The Group is now in its seventeenth year. It meets in Worthing on the first Monday evening of every month and also has four other venues; Brighton, Horsham, Lewes and Burgess Hill. Members receive an emailed diary twice a month.

Jackie says, “It’s been a privilege to introduce people to The Group, and to witness the friendships that have been made. I am so pleased that Wendy is taking over, ensuring that our lovely club can continue”.

“My mum who has Alzheimer’s absolutely loves these sessions – it’s a wonderful activity that we can do together and she really comes alive.”
