We are a local charity based in Bedwell, in Stevenage and our remit is to serve the older community in Stevenage, by providing various social and exercise activities to help maintain an active lifestyle for both body and mind. The majority of the activities take place in the Bedwell Community Centre.
The activities provided by the INS are run by volunteers and to take part you can become a member for a minimal annual fee. There is a small charge for most of the activities although non-members can join in, space permitting, at an additional cost. Apart from the daily activities, events such as celebratory lunches are held, St. Patricks Day and Christmas lunches plus outings.
We are pleased to announce that we will now be putting on activities at The Oval Community Centre, Stevenage.
The days for The Oval are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday excluding the Salsacize class until further notice. Activities will continue at The Bedwell Community Centre on Thursday and Friday. View the on-line Calendar for dates and times. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the office.
We produce a monthly Newsletter which has news, a calendar of events and a description of the activities.
