We meet together in the Maypole in Long Preston on alternate Thursday evenings, and if anyone would like to join a meeting, please do get in touch with us via the contact page. The meetings begin at 6.30pm. on 2nd and 4th Thursdays each month. We also meet on the first Thursday each month at 10.30am in a local coffee shop -look at our weekly meetings to see where. If there is a fifth Thursday in a month we usually have an Awayday which might be a walk, or bowling, or a trip to another area
We're a friendly bunch of around 20 people who volunteer in the Settle community, working on projects and raising money, as well as enjoying informal social activities throughout the year. If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, we’d like to meet you.
We're also part of a much bigger organisation, with a warm welcome in every city and the capacity to make change on a global scale - such as eliminating Polio.
If you think you might be interested, please browse our website to get a better feel for what we are about, view the video at the bottom of this page and maybe use some of these links.
