Friends Social Group of Solihull is for people, from all walks of life, generally aged from 45 to well past retirement (although we have no age restrictions), who want to enjoy a rich and busy social life, full of activities and events in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.
All events are hosted and organised by members for the enjoyment of fellow members, and cover any type of activity, the range of which is limited only by the imagination and ambition of our members.
Although not a “singles only” club, many of our members join following difficult life events and are able to rekindle their appetite for a healthy social life, and rebuild confidence, supported and encouraged by the group to eventually become event organisers themselves, and contribute to our continuing success.
Many events are run in support of charitable institutions and over the years many thousands of pounds have been raised.
The group’s day to day activity is guided by a constitution and has an active committee of members working hard to ensure we continue to grow and enable the membership to thrive.
HISTORY
Formed in 1988, when a couple of members of a small group from the Solihull area who regularly met in each others homes, decided to organise their activities by producing a monthly programme of events. Over thirty five years later this small group has evolved into a “club” with membership fast approaching two hundred. During this time many hundreds of our members have passed through and been re-energised, and confidence restored moved on along life’s journey.
