Welcome to the Activities for the 50 plus in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan

Through our contact with groups, clubs and the general public we know that there are a lot of physical and social activities across Cardiff and the Vale that provide people with the opportunity to meet others, make friends, develop new interests, learn new skills or continue to enjoy putting skills and knowledge into practice.

The feedback we have received is that you want to know what is happening locally and how to get involved.

Thanks to the financial support of Cardiff Local Health Board we have been able to produce this directory.

We must also thank all those who have contributed to providing information about the clubs and groups they attend and to individuals who have agreed to have their details published. At the Older Person’s Congress in September 2006 we started to collect information from the delegates on the types of classes and activities that they attended on a regular basis. We gathered a great deal of information on the day as well as from other events and other sources.

We hope that you will find something in the directory that interests you, that you might even have a go at something ‘new’ or pick up a hobby that you’ve put to one side.

The content of the directory was accurate when published (May 2009) but we are aware that some of it will become out of date, with classes potentially changing their venue or days on which they meet, therefore we urge you to make contact with the club organiser before making your journey to a new class.

If you would like to know more about a particular group or activity please call the contact listed or the Ageing Well and Engagement Team on 029 2057 8372

We hope you will keep in touch with us and let us know how useful you have found the directory, as well as any feedback you may have in terms of any new classes, or new hobbies you’ve taken up as a result of the directory. Can we also encourage you to let us know about classes and activities that aren’t listed in the directory as we will be able to add these to our database.

This is your directory and your opportunity to get involved with organisations, clubs and activities.

Just select the activity you are interested in from the menu on the left.

Best wishes
Ageing Well and Engagement Team
