Askern Spa Well Being Club

Do you feel you could benefit from joining a warm, friendly group to enjoy some good conversation, gentle exercise, activities and make new friends in a spacious, clean and accessible place?

The Askern Spa Well Being Club can offer this and much more.  They have light refreshments at a reasonable rate open to all.  Young, old, new parents, kids, babies and senior citizens, all are welcome.

The group is based at the St. Peter's Church Community Centre, Church Street Askern (but is not a religious group).  If you would like to drop in, volunteers run the club every Friday between 10:30am and 2pm and would love to see you.  All donations of tea and coffee would be welcomed by the volunteers.

If you would like some more information on what activities take place or how you can get involved please contact Mandi Bell on 07962 373266.
