Held most Fridays at 2-4pm in Solva Memorial Hall, Friday Club is run by Solva Care as a weekly ‘get together’ where villagers can engage with each other in a variety of activities.  Download the programme for more information.

It provides fun and entertainment sessions that include several bands – Country and Western, Solva Ukulele Pirates, St. Davids Cathedral Hand Bells and more.  There are various craft sessions delivered by local people, gentle movement sessions provided by yoga and activity specialists.  There are also music quizzes, beetle drives, and scrapbook memories and reminiscing sessions.

The aim of the sessions is to include as many local people and others to partake in wellbeing activities that address – not only the results of ageing, for example memory loss and restricted mobility – but also provide opportunities to combat loneliness, isolation and emotional issues; everyone who attends these sessions helps strengthen community bonds. Most of our sessions are delivered by local people and this alone encourages local involvement and integration, building knowledge and support to sustain our cohesive environment. Solva Craft Group have knitted bean bags for our exercising session.

We invite all ages to attend, when and if they can, and we can assist with transport.  Call Lena on 07805 717556 or Sandra on 01437 721450 (just to check that it is running) or just come along.

In 1982 when Clwb Solfach was formed as an off-shoot of Solva Old People’s Welfare Committee, it was hailed as being a ‘self-help’ scheme unique in the three counties of Pembrokeshire, Cardiganshire and Carmarthenshire, and was an example for others setting up in Pembrokeshire.
There are 6 teams who take it in turn to cook and serve, and the Lulncheon Club is inspected under the Food & Hygiene Regulations.
A 2-course meal, plus a cup of tea or coffee, is provided most Wednesdays in Solva Memorial Hall, for the very reasonable sum of £5.
Anyone who lives within the parish of Whitchurch and Solva, who is disabled or is aged 60 and over is very welcome.

For more information, please contact Jane Pascoe on 01437 721544.

A team of volunteers from Solva holds a weekly coffee morning in the Memorial Hall on Thursdays, 10.30am – noon.  There is no charge, but donations are accepted, and there is also a mini library.  If you are in Solva and would like a lift to get there, just call our Co-ordinator Lena on 07805 717556.

The Dewisland People’s Shed is open every Tuesday from 10 am until lunchtime. Drop in for tea/coffee and a chat, or visit our the fully equipped wood/metal workshop. Make that new shelf or a love spoon, or just come and see what is here. We meet in the old Scout Hut in St Davids – in Ffynon Wen (off Bryn Road) with lots of space. Maybe your club would like to meet here! Or maybe you just want a quiet sit-down with chocolate biscuits on hand.
