I was most impressed by the activities run by the Bournemouth and Christchurch NHS Retirement Fellowship.
When retiring from the NHS people can find themselves at a loss for things to do but this nationwide organisation has a friendly thriving branch and its doors are open to those wanting to participate. Basically, anyone who has worked for the NHS and is drawing their pension can enrol even if they have moved into this area from other parts of the country.
It does not matter what your duties were – from porters to consultants, you are made to feel welcome.
The branch arranges talks, walks, meals, shows, trips, bowls and much, much more.
The Bournemouth and Christ-church branch is celebrating its 30th anniversary.
Telephone Hilary on 01202 511772 or visit nhsrf.org.uk for full membership details.
More members are needed so come and see what is being organised for ex-NHS staff.
I did and it’s great.
