Spotlight: Bristol Deaf 50+ Group
This shows just how cherished and important this group is to everyone who attends. The group meet weekly for bingo, socialising, and various interesting information sessions, all helped by funding from The Quartet Foundation through 2025. The group talk about fond memories of the group in the video, and explain why they keep coming back (some have attended for over a decade!)
The group meets up on Wednesday afternoons 1-4pm at Unitarian Meeting Hall, St Pauls, BS2 8PE
If you or anyone you know would like to join the 50+ group, please get in touch with us and we will share more information.
