It starts tomorrow (Monday 10th May) in Scarborough at the Mecca Bingo Hall on Albermarle Crescent between 1pm and 3pm.
This year, the theme for the week is ‘Nature’ and throughout the week, the charity are inviting people to come along and try out a range of wellbeing and outdoor based activities designed to get people out and about after lockdown, make new connections and try something different.
