Broadway House
Broadway House is "open house" to the over 60's - both resident and visitors to Felixstowe. It is not a club, so you don't have to "join" or pay a membership fee, to be able to come in.
It is provided as a haven for over 60's to rest, have some tea/coffee or other light refreshments, meet or make new friends, use our Wi-Fi facility or just sit quietly in the company of others.

Meet Up Mondays
Open to anyone in need of company.
There are lots of groups across the county for anyone feeling alone.
There are a range of days, locations and times in the local area.
Men's Sheds
Men’s Sheds (or Sheds) are similar to garden sheds – a place to pursue practical interests at leisure, to practice skills and enjoy making and mending.
The difference is that garden sheds and their activities are often solitary in nature while Men’s Sheds are the opposite.
TULIPS
A monthly peer support group in Felixstowe for those who have lost someone close to them.
Even though there are lots of options and online help, it's nice to be able to sit next to a person and share how we are feeling with a cuppa and a biscuit!
