Previously known as the Over 55 Clubs we changed our name in 2011 to Trinity Network (Social Opportunities for Older People).
If you are interested in our Network, or if you know someone else who may be interested then please do not hesitate to contact us.
We have a short assessment form that staff will go through with you. This will help to ensure that we are able to give you the right type of support.
Activities
We provide a range of activities to enable members to participate in things they may never have tried before. Classes and courses are arranged by local tutors and staff. Computers and tablets are available for your use.
No one is ever under any pressure to join in, you can simply sit, chat or read the newspapers.
Bingo and dominoes are very popular but we also have jigsaws, board games, playing cards and handicrafts available. You can borrow books and read them at your leisure, or borrow our talking books, videos and dvd’s.
Occasionally retailers visit and sell clothes, fancy goods and books, there is no obligation to buy.
We have a sweet shop and sell birthday cards, there is a ‘nearly new rail’ and a Charity Shop at Dewsbury Road which opens on Tuesday.
Projects
We often undertake interesting projects such as our recent History Group which looked at local history of the area and our Hats Off Project which looked at the different jobs our members had throughout their working lives.

Our beauty therapist, Jenny, visits on a regular basis and can provide manicures and other treatments at a very reasonable price to our members. We also have Janice,our hairdresser who visits our site on a regular basis.
