Southowram Over Fifties' Activities (SOFA)

 

southowram50.webstarts.com

SOFA was set up in 2011, as part of Calderdale Council's Neighbourhood Schemes.  Its aim is to offer people primarily in the 50 plus age group within the community of Southowram and surrounding areas, a range of fun activities to help promote their health and well-being.


Sessions cost £3 which is payable on the day - so you only need pay for the sessions you attend.


If you're not sure whether an activity is for you, come along and give it a try, or just sit and watch.  The first two weeks 'taster' sessions are free!*  (Please note that this concession does not apply to those sessions which are planned to run for a limited number of weeks.)


Worried about coming on your own?  Call Jill on 01422 351765 to arrange to meet someone when you arrive, or just to find out more.


Membership is currently £5 a year, running from January to December.

We're all about keeping active, having fun and making friends!
