The "Recycled Teenagers" Club, set up back in 2006 with the support of Rochford District Council Housing Department.  Its main aim is to encourage and support people who are 50+ to gain access to different activities happening in an area where you live or to help access external funding for new activities to start.  All at an affordable cost and some activities are FREE for members! Membership is open to all areas across Essex.

  

We already have over 150 members joining in the fun.  The groups formal committee have been busy applying for external funding to help run a year project for it's members around Financial Inclusion and Mental Health Well being.  

  

We are now into a new funding year and trying hard to secure funds to help provide free activities for all our members.
