Thorner Over 60’s Association offers a varied programme for the older people of Thorner and nearby villages from our premises at The Bungalow, just opposite the Doctors’ Surgery on Thorner Main Street.
We have a chair exercise class and chair yoga each week. Language classes are popular and there’s a fortnightly lunch club with a delicious home-cooked meal. On Thursday morning there’s a very friendly and busy coffee morning, held to coincide with the Post Office and everyone is welcome, whatever their age. Once a month on the first Friday, we hold a discussion group with home made cake. There is a book exchange each Saturday, again open to everyone, with lots of books for children.
In addition we have a regular programme of events, talks and outings. Membership is currently £12 a year, which offers a discount for many of our activities. The latest programme is available on the notice board at The Bungalow and at other points around Thorner. Members also receive a monthly programme and newsletter. We have a regular group of volunteers and are always pleased to hear from anyone who would like to help.
We’ve reached a milestone recently, becoming a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered with the Charity Commission, Registered Charity 1218901. We are also part of Thorner Net Zero Partnership, working with other organisations in the village to improve our sustainability.
