The Befriending Service
Supporting the socially isolated
The Befriending Service is FACT’s special project which aims to reduce social isolation and loneliness in the local community. The project offers regular events and a wide variety of activities aimed at all walks of society.
If you would like more information about the Befriending Service, to use the service or to volunteer, please contact FACT on 01309 674 388 or email info@forresarea.org
Activities
This service also runs a diverse selection of creative activities to encourage social interaction and a feeling of accomplishment through creation. From book-binding to weaving, and card-making to dancing – check out our What’s On page for current events.
Gentle Seated Exercise
Exercise benefits everyone. In fact, if age or disabilities have limited mobility, it’s even more essential to enjoy the mind and health-boosting effects of staying active.
So if you fancy some seated tummy twists, overhead stretches, hand and thigh squeezes or knee lifts, come and join our excellent chair exercises.
When can you join us? Every Tuesday from 10:30 am – 12.00 noon at Forres Town Hall. Obligatory post exercise cuppa is provided when we’ve burned off a few calories.
