About Us
The Retirement Fellowship is for anyone who has retired or semi-retired from working in the NHS and allied services, i.e. Ambulance Services, Hospice and Voluntary Services. We are a branch of the National NHSRF. We meet on the second Monday of every month at Horringer Community Centre at 10:15 am. The meeting is a social gathering with tea, coffee & biscuits.
Our aim is:
- To provide friendship to NHS retirees in West Suffolk and surrounding areas.
- To provide a social and friendly atmosphere at our monthly meetings and keep our members engaged in current and future affairs through the invited speakers.
- To provide help and advice to our members, especially during illness or bereavement, and access to the Benevolent Fund in cases of hardship.
- To organise various social, cultural and physical activities.
- To communicate information and members activities through our monthly newsletter.
You will have the opportunity to make new friends and meet up with friends and colleagues you probably have not seen for years

- A speaker on varying subjects of interest.
- Some months we may have a quiz which can be great fun!!
- A raffle with three or more prizes to be won!
