Liverpool Cares' social clubs were legendary. They were a combination of in-person, over the phone and Zoom group activities where older and younger neighbours met up, enjoyed learning new skills, and shared conversations and experiences with each other. Ultimately, these shared experiences led to new relationships and trust, and more connected communities.
The clubs were free and took place on weekdays, evenings and weekends – and included activities like quizzes, workshops, desert island discs nights, karaoke sessions, script reading, masterclasses, comedy improv sessions, cookery clubs and intergenerational singalongs like this one:
Every month at @Ropewalkslounge they gather around the piano and sing the night away, with the help of our pianist Jez! Older neighbour Ray joined in by playing the comb, and younger neighbour impressed with her whistling skills 😗🎶 pic.twitter.com/ZsE1grTEe2

We always aimed to make our Social Clubs programme as varied and fresh as possible and to ensure that there were clubs that appealed to everyone's interests.
We were committed to making sure that all of our programmes, including our social clubs, were welcoming and safe spaces for all of our neighbours, and we were proud that our clubs reflected the exciting, vibrant city of Liverpool, which is known for its sense of humour, spirit and personality.
Between 2018 and 2023, Liverpool Cares ran over 500 social clubs, bringing the amazing changing people and places around us – and culture and content from all over the world – to the table for older and younger neighbours to enjoy together.
