Thursday Social Club – Good Friends, Great Fun!

Thursday evenings are all about having fun, making friends and enjoying yourself at Genesis!

Looking for somewhere to meet new people, try something different and enjoy a great evening out? Our Genesis Thursday Social Club is the perfect place!

Open to all adults with learning disabilities, our weekly Social Club offers a friendly, welcoming and relaxed environment where you can catch up with friends, meet new people and get involved in as much or as little as you like.

There’s Always Something Going On!

Whether you love getting creative, enjoy a little friendly competition or just fancy a good chat, there’s something for everyone!

Some of our favourite activities include:

  • 🎨 Arts, crafts and creative activities

  • 🎲 Board games and group activities

  • 🍳 Cooking and trying new recipes

  • 💻 Computers and digital activities

  • 🎉 Special events and themed evenings throughout the year

And sometimes, the best part of the evening is simply sitting down with friends, having a laugh and enjoying each other’s company!

Fancy Something to Eat?

Why not make an evening of it?

We offer delicious home-cooked meals, freshly prepared at Genesis, so you can enjoy dinner as part of your evening. Refreshments are also available throughout the club.

When and Where?

Every Thursday | 4:00 pm – 8:30 pm

At our Genesis centre in Ipswich.

Come Along and Give It a Go!

Never been before? No problem! We know trying somewhere new can feel a little daunting, which is why we welcome anyone interested to come along, have a look around and try a taster session.

Whether you’re looking to make new friends, discover a new hobby or simply enjoy a change of scenery, we’d love to welcome you.

Get in touch with our friendly team to find out more, arrange a visit or book a taster session.
