Perhaps you’ve lost the confidence or motivation to do the things you used to enjoy doing, or feel it is too late to go back or try something new. Getting Out and About in Reading

Having moved to a new area or after a bereavement, you may need some help to find things to do in your local community: it could be going to a lunch club, taking part in an activity or meeting up with like-minded people.
