As the year gets underway, Black Country Oddfellows is encouraging adults across the city to make a fresh start by meeting new people and building social connections through its Stay in Touch initiative.
The programme offers a mix of free social activities, all open to the public, not just members. The aim is to help people feel connected, form new friendships and enjoy companionship as they settle into the months ahead.
Alongside online socials, Black Country Oddfellows also hosts relaxed, in-person meet-ups in welcoming local venues, giving people the chance to enjoy a cuppa, have a chat and connect face to face in a friendly, informal setting.
With January meet-ups well underway, the group continues to run regular events in January and throughout the year, making it easy for people to book and join us whenever it suits them.
Newcomers are welcome to attend upcoming events, including regular meet-ups taking place across Aldridge, Wednesbury, Dudley Wolverhampton and our newest catch up in Walsall.
Sessions continue every month and in Walsall it will be the fourth Wednesday of each month, offering ongoing opportunities to stay connected and meet new people in a relaxed and supportive environment.
Oddfellows are delighted to be launching a new Cuppa and Chat group in Walsall on Wednesday 28 January, from 11am – 12.30pm at Sainsburys Starbucks, Reedswood Park, Reedswood Way, Walsall, WS2 8XA.
Adam Blake Starbucks Manager - Reedswood branch had this to say about the new cuppa and chat group launching next at his café
“We’re really happy to host the new Oddfellows Cuppa and Chat group here at Starbucks Reedswood. It’s a lovely way for people in the area to meet up, relax and make new connections over a cuppa. Supporting local community groups is important to us, and we’re glad to provide a friendly space for everyone to come together. We look forward to welcoming the Oddfellows every fourth Wednesday of the month from 28 January.
