Throughout the year, there are many activities organized for members and non-members to enjoy. There are weekly clubs, monthly clubs and various other trips and social events that take place throughout the year. Have a look on the Coming Soon page to see what the upcoming trips and events are, and how you can join these.

There are also regular visits to local charity organizations, coordinated by the B.I.G. committee charity team, enabling any interested members to see what is happening in the community and where help might be needed.

Below are just a few examples of the many clubs and activities on offer. For more information email our activities team, or come along to the next B.I.G. Coffee Morning. You will be made very welcome.

Ideas for new activities are always welcome, contact the activities team
