Members of Fareham Saturday Friends have met to mark 12 months of fun and good times.

The group is part of Hampshire-based charity Brendoncare and meets every Saturday from 2pm to 4pm at the town’s library in Osborn Road. Members enjoy games, quizzes, guest speakers, cooking demonstrations and more, and the club offers older people a chance to meet new friends and enjoy a chat over refreshments.

The club was launched Hampshire County Council and Hampshire Libraries Service.

Anyone who wants to find out more can contact the charity’s Winchester office on 01962 852133, or visit brendoncare.org.uk.
