Residents aged 55 and over in the LS11 area are in for a treat this summer, as Holbeck Together announces a fantastic line-up of group outings designed to bring adventure to the summer season.
From fish and chips on the promenade to a mystery tour full of surprises, Holbeck Together’s Summer Outings Programme promises memorable days out to some of the UK’s favourite coastal spots and countryside gems.
Whether you’re craving sea air or a hearty meal, there’s something for everyone — all supported by Holbeck Together’s reliable and friendly Community Transport Service, offering door-to-door travel at an affordable price.
Upcoming Summer outings include:
Monday 14 July – Southport – £26.00
Monday 28 July – Scarborough – £26.00
Monday 4 August – Meal Outing to Heathfield Farm – £12.50 (note: cost does not cover your meal)
Monday 18 August – Whitby – £27.00
Monday 8 September – Mystery Tour – £30.00
Monday 22 September – Blackpool – £28.00
Each trip is fully supported by trained staff and dedicated volunteers, making it a stress-free and enjoyable experience for all. Assistance is available throughout the day, and booking is essential.
Group outings are not only fun—they’re great for your wellbeing too. Travelling with a group helps combat loneliness, encourages social interaction, and ensures everyone is looked after from start to finish.
It’s also an excellent opportunity to explore new places with people who live local to you.
Kevin, 67, from Holbeck, recently joined the group on a day trip to Flamborough and Bridlington. He shared,
“It was wonderful to get out and see the sea again. I wouldn’t have managed it on my own, but going with the group made it easy.
“Everyone was so friendly—I even made a few new friends. I’m already booked in for two more outings!”
Matthew Springthorpe, who helps to co-ordinate the outings at Holbeck Together, said,
“We guarantee a warm welcome, lots of laughter, and a brilliant day out.
“Whether it’s a walk along the seafront or a bite to eat in the countryside, there’s always something special about sharing these experiences together.
“The bus is also accessible for people in wheelchairs and our driver can pick people up from home if mobility is an issue.”
With limited spaces and high demand, early booking is advised.
