THE LA DI DA SOCIETY 

The La Di Da Society runs daytime social and entertainment clubs for people over the age of 60 years old with the aim of reducing social isolation and loneliness, improving well being and helping people to feel part of their local community. We also run events out in the community as well as dance classes suitable for all.
