The NHS Retirement Fellowship exists to maintain friendships and to provide opportunities to make new friends through a range of social and leisure activities.
If you are over 50 years of age, retired or still working, and have worked in the NHS or worked for a contracted service, including volunteers who give their services to the NHS in any way you are eligible to join. Also eligible are those who worked in the Social Service sector. Partners / spouses of members are also eligible for membership.

In light of what has become a rapidly developing situation with the Coronavirus outbreak it would be wise under the circumstances to "Suspend all meetings and events until further notice".
Many of our members are clearly in the "at risk" group and some also with underlying health problems, so to ignore current guidelines such as cancelling meetings etc. would not be justified. I would ask members to be aware of others at this time less fortunate than themselves who might benefit from telephone contact and help if required and that we have their best interests at heart.
If and when it is felt that it is safe to re-commence meetings I will let you know. For the time being keep well, keep safe and hope to see you all sooner rather than later, Norman
