“We are the umbrella organisation for the local voluntary and community sector (VCS) in Barnet, and we support and represent voluntary and community groups, charities and faith groups across the borough. We have been established for over 35 years, and our mission is to help ensure Barnet has a thriving, sustainable and vibrant third sector.”
Puddenecks Club was formed in 1958 by a group of local businessmen to raise money and organise events and help for elderly people.
“The Friends of Barnet Market (FoBM) is a group formed in 2008 with the aim of supporting and promoting the use of Barnet Market.”
SPACES is a local group that represents residents in four High Barnet roads (Alston, Calvert, Puller and Sebright) in issues relating to planning and traffic. We have an attractive area packed with mainly Victorian houses and we aim to promote the friendly atmosphere that has been present in our roads over the years.
“We are a friendly, local social club for those who want to have fun and meet others. Barnet Plus is part of a national network of similar groups that are run voluntarily, not for profit, and organise a range of social and leisure events.
We offer a wide variety of things to do. For example, there are organised holidays and weekend breaks where members from across the country get together to enjoy discos, day trips, sports or just relaxing! Members also meet up for parties, meals out, bowling, quizzes and other events where the emphasis is on having a good time.
Barnet Plus meets on Sundays from 8.15 pm at Discovery Hall, 1 Stevenson Close, Netherlands Road, New Barnet, EN5 1DR, just two minutes from Oakleigh Park Station and ten minutes from bus routes 184, 307 and 326.
To join costs just £10, but you can come along three times before deciding whether to take out membership. A small fee is payable for Sunday events.”
