OPAL Branching Out offers a range of services that aim to reconnect people with their local community and feel the full benefit of having social connections and interactions. We currently run regular ‘Food for Thought’ groups in Helsby, Frodsham, Ashton Hayes and Farndon, where we eat, chat and have a different themed activity each session, covering a wide range of interests and topics. We also arrange occasional outings for our members to local cafes, gardens and to the theatre and pantomime.
Branching Out has been running since 2019 in the Frodsham and Helsby area and in 2023, OPAL expanded into the Ashton Hayes area too.
Members can attend as many or as few sessions as they wish, which enables people who have fluctuating health or carer duties or regular diary commitments to participate and feel a part of the group.
