Dear Editor,
Croydon Friendship Month
The Croydon Oddfellows has just come to the end of celebrating ‘Friendship Month’ and would like to thank our local community and members for making it such an enjoyable occasion.
Each September, we organise a series of fun and inexpensive activities to let people know who we are and discover the benefits of joining a local friendship group. We are thrilled to have welcomed many new faces to our events this month, which included the wonderful afternoon tea in South Norwood.
This year has been particularly important as we wanted to encourage people to keep meeting up with friends for support through the cost-of-living crisis.
We don’t want anyone in our community to feel alone or financially excluded, so would like to remind readers that Friendship Month was just the icing on the cake, and that we run affordable social events throughout the year – in person and on Zoom.
Our next events are quiz and games afternoons on 14th October at 2.00 pm in South Norwood and 28th October at 2.00 pm in Purley. If anyone wants to come along to get to know a few more people locally, a warm welcome awaits.
Should any of your readers also like to receive one of our local events diaries, then we are happy to send one if they contact me on 01293 785083 or [email protected].
Kind regards,
Dawn Taylor
District Secretary
Croydon Oddfellows.
