Or you may prefer to run your own annual events with friends, colleagues and family, from coffee afternoons to Come Dine with Me dinners, setting yourself challenges and targets throughout the year.

If you are interested in supporting us and making new friends, whilst having fun, then please call The BOSP Office on 01268 553117 or email [email protected] for more information.
