Di's Diamonds is a social group for men and women living in Havering, Redbridge and Barking & Dagenham from all walks of life and backgrounds.
Single or partnered, aged 50+, who want to meet people and make friends, get out and about, enjoy activities and events, discover opportunities and take on new challenges.
The group started many years ago and was run by several existing members, due to their hard work and phenomenal success the group became too large to manage and AgeUK took over.
It's free to join if you live in Havering, Redbridge or Barking & Dagenham and are over 50. There is no obligation to attend, come as often as you like. Whilst Di's Diamonds is for both men and women, we also have Diamond Geezers, a group, which offers activities exclusively for men.
All Di's Diamonds members can join our dedicated Facebook page where you will find Kim's reminiscence posts, jokes, puzzles and quizzes, share thoughts and great ideas with volunteers and members plus all the latest Di’s Diamonds updates.
We offer:
- coffee mornings and meals
- bowling
- tea dances
- cinema and theatre trips
- museum and exhibition outings
- lectures and concerts
- creative art classes and events
- walks
- crazy golf
- pantomime
- quizzes
We cannot offer:
Transport to and from a venue, mental health or physical support. Many of our events are run by volunteers in public spaces. If additional support is needed it may be possible for a carer or family member to attend. All applications are individually assessed for suitability by our team and recommendations for additional support or services will be made where necessary. This is to ensure safety and security for all our members.
We also have a monthly calendar of events which is updated each month.
Only Di's Diamonds members who have pre booked can attend our events.
Independent men and women over 50 who live in Barking & Dagenham, Havering or Redbridge.
