A 'home away from home'

Local social group, Oddfellows, invites people to join their friendly group

“Home is a feeling, and for many of our members, King's Lynn Oddfellows has become a real home away from home,” says Marleen, who's a member, “It’s about knowing there’s a friendly face waiting for you, a place where you can be yourself and feel comfortable from the moment you walk through the door.”

Marleen adds, “Having a reliable group to belong to brings reassurance, routine and connection. It’s not just about socialising – it’s about feeling supported and part of something local.”

The group is inviting locals to try one of its meet-ups, events range from relaxed coffee mornings and lunches to walks, games afternoons and day trips within King's Lynn and West Norfolk.

Alison Schultz, who organises the activities, says the group, made up of around 380 members, provides something many people don’t realise they’re missing, adding, “There’s no pressure with our group at all. 

"You can take part as much or as little as you like – just turn up as you are. Many people tell us they wish they’d discovered us sooner.”

There are upcoming events every Tuesday afternoon at Reffley Community Hall, starting at 2.
