A social group is inviting residents to a relaxed evening of networking, conversation and community spirit.
Winchester Connections will host its monthly social at Greens Wine Bar at 7.30pm on September 24, welcoming current, new, and prospective members.
Founded last year, the group now has more than 350 members and was created to build a community that combats loneliness and helps with health and wellbeing, encouraging social interaction and creating meaningful friendships.
Celia Gilligan, a long-standing member, said: "We are a very friendly group that do lots of amazing events for Winchester and the surrounding areas, but we need a bit of help spreading the word."
