Older men tend to be under represented in some activities at Chorlton Good Neighbours, so we have aimed to develop services and activities which will appeal to older men.
There are various sessions which might appeal to older men but, that said , anyone is welcome to come along and join in .
Why not come along to the Tuesday Social afternoon at SW Manchester Cricket Club ( 2-3.30pm) where snooker, crib and dominoes are played, as well as having a drink and a chat. Just go in and speak with the activity lead, David Balderstone.
If Singing and Drama are more your thing, then we run sessions during the week for you to come and meet like minded people :
Drama 10-12 Wednesday mornings with actor and facilitator Peter Gibson
Melodics Singing Group 11.30-12.45 Thursdays with leaders Leah and Mary

Every Friday morning, regardless of the weather, the CGN gardening group meets. The group is co-ordinated by CGN worker, Geraldine Wall. We have developed the outside area at the back of the CGN offices into a vegetable and flower garden.
We have had a patio area laid (courtesy of Bramhall Construction Ltd) and three raised beds have already been productive. Over the hard winter of 2013 we erected a greenhouse which was very productive in its first year of use. Early each year we are busy germinating seeds such as sungold and tomatoes and when the weather gets warmer we put the seedlings in the greenhouse
In 2017 we erected a shelter under which we can get out of the rain – on the rare occasions it rains!
Our Gardening Sessions are held 10am-12.30pm every Friday. If you would like to find out more contact us on 0161-881-2925 or come along to the plot at the back of Wilbraham St Ninian’s Church, Egerton Road South and have a look for yourself.
