A Bit About Us...
Lisa, the founder and director of LISAS CIC, started out with an idea and a passion to end social isolation in the local community. Lisa established LISAS, which stands for Leisure Inclusive Social Activity Services, single-handedly in October 2020 and worked tirelessly to become a Social Enterprise Community Interest Company (CIC) in March 2022, building up a team of like-minded, caring volunteers to help her on the journey, including two directors. We are a not-for-profit organisation, relying on funding, donations, and our amazing team of passionate and dedicated volunteers to enable us to provide the services we do.
​
We host four social groups a week, each offering something different, but our aim always remains the same: "To foster inclusivity and vibrancy in our social groups and outings for individuals over 50. We are committed to providing a welcoming and engaging environment, creating a supportive community that provides social connections while enhancing overall wellbeing."
​
We go on five local outings and one day trip to the coast each year. We offer puzzle sheets such as crosswords, Sudoku, brain teasers, word searches, and more to complete at the group or take home. There is also a loan service for books and jigsaws at all our groups, so the fun can continue at home! Our Tuesday afternoon and Thursday group have dementia-friendly resources for members to loan.
​
LISAS is a not-for-profit organisation with amazing volunteers who donate their time and efforts to support the local community. We also receive funding, grants, and donations, without which we could not continue our work.
