Why not take a break and do something you've always
wanted to do, like a Caribbean cruise, or a trip on the
Orient Express? Closer to home there are lots of
opportunities for short breaks and exploring Britain.
Sports and Outdoor activities
This includes events as well as ideas on sports and
activities.
Things to
Do
Whether it's theatre tickets or festivals, you can find
them all in 'Things to do'. You can also book some hotels
and tickets online.
Doing things for Others
If you feel that you have something to offer - advice,
experience, or just time, then there are lots of ways
to help others and plenty of people who would like to
hear from you. It can be most rewarding and enjoyable;
many charities need volunteers to help in their running
or on special occasions.

guide to voluntary work too.
Learning
The emphasis on lifelong learning has never been
stronger, and now is the time to take advantage of it.
With a host of adult colleges and most Universities
offering courses for mature students, as well as the
University of the Third Age, and the ever popular Open
University, the opportunity to continue learning and
developing skills has never been better. If you plan to
do some travelling, learning a new language can be very
satisfying and a social event too.
