New charity Bridlington Friends Association launching this October to help local communities feel more connected

The BFA has published a charity vision statement to explain its main aim: “Shining a light on social inclusion for all adults in Bridlington and the surrounding areas.”

The charity wants to help people involved in their local community and to make connections with people in their area. To do this, it will be arranging numerous indoor and outdoor activities for members.

Some examples of these group activities include coffee mornings, fun outings, quiz nights and more. There will also be learning and course opportunities, weekend events and family days.

Tracey Hobson, founder and chairperson for the BFA, said: “If you are looking to become part of a fun organisation, restart or boost your social life, make new friends, try some new hobbies, learn some new skills or just to have fun – then BFA is for you.”

If you would like to find out more about the charity, events will be held on the following dates:

Town Bar, Queensgate, from 1-4pm on Wednesday, October 26.
