What is Fifty Plus?

The Fifty Plus Programme provides recreational opportunities targeted (but not exclusively) to the 50+ age group in line with aspirations contained within the Council’s Cultural Strategy.

Welcome to the Fifty Plus Programme. We have developed the programme in order to provide activities for those predominantly of retirement age, however this is not exclusive so anyone can join in!

The Fifty Plus programme contains a host of weekly activities ranging from Indoor Bowls to Bridge, Tap Dancing to Yoga. You don’t always need to book in advance so there is plenty of flexibility. In the majority of cases, equipment is provided to get you started, so you don’t need to go to any great expense to get involved.

In addition to the weekly programme we also offer a range of Special Events including day trips, short courses and rambles. The Special Events section is offering the ever popular Driving Advantage Course, and three Quiz evenings each year.

Present courses consist of Yoga, Card Making and Pilates.

We are constantly trying to update the programme of activities to keep it as fresh and exciting as possible and to do this, we need your input. Our user group, made up of customers from our various activities across the borough, has been running successfully now for 7 years, and hopefully you have seen some of your ideas and suggestions filtered through to the programme. If you would like to take part in future meetings, have any ideas as to how we can improve the programme or would like to make any comments, please contact the Fifty Plus Team on 020 8207 7568.
