Fact Community Transport is looking for a volunteer to run its new Tuesday befriending group.
The original group started on May 25 2015 with just seven people.
There’s now 16 members who enjoy bingo, quizzes, sandwiches and cake together.
Nicola Christy, Community Hub Co-ordinator at FACT said: “Over time, the group’s changed from knitting cushions to making birthday cards.”
Today, the group were welcomed at a talk by Peter Jackman about the History of March.

Group member Ann said: “I’ve made many friends at the club; some of us go on holiday together!”
The two men of the group, George and David, said “We just put up with the women chatting!”
