Members On Their Own: MOTO

A relaxed, member-driven group for people who are on their own, some bereaved, some divorced, some single by choice and some with partners who cannot or do not want to socialise, and who want company from time to time. Most Sunday afternoons there is a drop-in, alternately in the Lancaster and Morecambe areas and sometimes in a nearby village, and because the venue changes each week it is emailed to members rather than listed in the newsletter, with volunteer buddies passing it on by phone to members without email. The group also arranges other gatherings as members suggest them, and these have included cinema, theatre and concert visits, dog walking, a garden centre visit, a museum visit and a garden party. There is a messaging group for members with smartphones. Drop-ins are at 2pm, with other days as well.
