Events
We have monthly in-person meet-ups and we aim to try and host online video chats. We plan to perhaps try some outings/meet-ups in 2025 to various places in South Yorkshire.
If you are a member of our Facebook Group, an event is posted on there two weeks beforehand in order to help remind you.
Calendar Of Upcoming Events
Monthly Meet-Ups
We have monthly in person meet ups on the second Saturday of every month from 1:30pm to 3:30pm (2025 onwards). Both people with the condition/s and carers/friends/family are welcome to join us. Come join us for the full two hours or pop in at some point for as long as you can.
It is fully accessible with a ramp and handrails and it also has a toilet. We can make drinks there or you could bring your own. The place has two separate rooms, making us able to have someone come in to talk about the condition/s in one room and anyone not interested in listening to be in the other. Or do various activities.
Please note that whilst the dot is on the correct building of the Church Rooms at St. Bartholomew’s Church, the location itself has no number/address.
Located on Church Lane just off the A634 Blyth Road. Turn onto Low Road and there is a left turn just before the Five Rivers. Follow Church Lane to the bottom of the hill and you will see the Church. The Church Rooms are to the left-hand side behind the car parking area.
Travel Help
If you struggle with public transport or cannot afford a taxi, there are other means of getting to us to join in with our monthly meet-ups. There are Door2Door services in South Yorkshire which are especially for disabled people who struggle with public transport and is cheaper than that of a taxi.
These services use fully accessible vehicles and can take you from your own home to places round your local area either by yourself or with a friend/family member/carer. It’s best to book in advance, the earlier the better so you won’t miss a meet-up due to it being fully booked.
Door2Door – Rotherham
For any age, will pick you up from your home and can take you around your local area and beyond.
Doncaster Community Transport
I can’t seem to find an official site for this one, but they do have a Facebook Page.
Sheffield Community Car Scheme
Operated by volunteers who drive their own cars to provide transport for registered passengers.
Door2Door – Barnsley
No official website but this page does have all the information you will need.
If you know of any others, whether Door2Door or additional travel help,
please email us (address at the bottom of the page) so it can be added.
Video Chats
We aim to try and host online video chats once a month for those unable to attend our in-person meet-ups. Or, if you just wish to chat and join in with both!
Online video chats may just be that, a way to chat, meet new people and catch up with ones you know. There might even be games within the chat or additional video chats just for those wishing to play.
Please keep an eye on our calendar and/or the Facebook Group as video chats might only have a week or two notice.
