The University of Bath is inviting residents aged over 60 to join staff and student volunteers for activities in Oldfield Park as part of its Cosy Wednesdays initiative.
Located a short walk from Moorland Road, the cabin at Dartmouth Avenue is a community space for students off campus, giving them a central location for socialising and studying in a bright and comfortable atmosphere.
The University of Bath would now like older residents to be able to enjoy the space as well over the winter months, welcoming people to enjoy a free soup lunch, hot drinks and an afternoon of music, craft, games and more on Wednesdays from 12.30pm – 4.30pm.
The Students’ Union will help to run activities, drawing on volunteers from its many societies and clubs, to invite them to share their hobbies and skills with local people.
University staff are also volunteering for the initiative.
Professor Phil Allmendinger, the University’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor, said: “We are very much looking forward to welcoming people to our Dartmouth Road location to enjoy an afternoon’s activities in a warm and comfortable setting.
“Our students really enjoy spending time at Dartmouth Avenue and we hope others will too. It’s a great opportunity to share skills, stories and time together.”
