Those aged 55 and over are welcome to join us. There’s no upper age limit.

The cost of Gal Baat, our monthly social event, is £5. Our day trips vary in price. All other events are free unless otherwise stated.

Currently, we are only able to offer transport to those living in Chatham and Gillingham who have no others means of transport. However, we can’t always guarantee that this will be possible, as it all depends on whether our volunteer driver is available on a given day to drive the minibus.

We provide a limited number of wheelchairs and a rollator to ensure that users can join our activities, and feel safe doing so. We can transport users from the drop-off point to the event venue in a wheelchair, and can take them out in a wheelchair too. Outside of these mobility aids, we’ll always offer a helping hand.

It’s completely normal to feel anxious about coming along to something new for the first time. We have friendly volunteers on hand to greet you and help you feel at home. You’re also welcome to get in touch prior to attending so that we can have a chat and get to know each other!

No, anyone over 55 is welcome to join us. However, we do target older South Asian people through the languages we speak and the activities we choose.

We don’t have any paid staff, only volunteers dedicating their free time to the community.

You don’t need a plethora of skills to volunteer with us, and we’ll support you to develop your skills and experience. The main things that you’ll need are a passion for making a positive difference, an understanding of the cultures that we work with, and a commitment to the voluntary role. We require that all volunteers complete an enhanced DBS check and undertake training sessions.
