On Wednesdays our poetry group meet at 1.30pm to read, discuss and write poetry. The group enjoy all manner of verse and some members occasionally perform in public.

Our popular Silver Songs sessions offer a fun, relaxed time to encourage people to use their voices. Service users benefit from improvements to posture, breathing and sleeping. The programme is supported by Worthing Choral Society members and has produced some memorable performances by our ‘Rattle & Roll’ singers in their 70s, 80s and 90s.
