Wear Together
A programme of weekly activities run in partnership with the EFL, designed to increase social interaction and reconnect those aged over-55.

Wear Together gives me a reason to leave the house and be more sociable. By coming to the Beacon, I have met new friends, done things which I thought I would not be able to do and more importantly has given me a more positive outlook on life.
