COMMUNITY Spirited is aiming to combat loneliness and isolation.

At East Cowes Pavillion, the team host social sessions which aim to bring people together in the local community.

Jane Goddard, from Community Spirited, said: "We encourage people to come and make friends and enjoy themselves.

"These groups help give people a purpose and limit isolation."

Everyone is welcome to the knit and natter group, held every Wednesday from 10.30am to 12.30pm, where the group make items to sell to raise funds.

They also hold a 'Youth Club for over 50s' every Thursday morning.

Here, the group enjoy hoopla, darts, cards and bingo.

Jane said: "Both sessions are full of laughter and friends.

"Life is better when we all work together for the good of our local community."
