We’re sprinkling a bit of magic into older people’s lives in Hull. Delivering a vibrant programme of ‘Shindigs, bringing together older/disabled people and carers from the city’s most deprived communities to eat, sing-along and dance to their favourite tunes.
Our fabulous Shindigs target Hull’s most vulnerable over 65s, bringing them together for joyous afternoon tea dances and cabarets, featuring professional actors, dancers, singers, musicians!
Local volunteers offer refreshments and sparkling conversation. Shindigs make a transformational difference to participants’ physical and emotional well-being, so they feel less lonely and more cared for, reconnecting them to the people and places where they live, restoring a feeling of community.
