Established in 2010 with the aim of encouraging an active lifestyle by providing a range of activities for all retieed persons over 50 years young, it has over 270 members.

“You may ot may not know that MVARA recently held a very successful Musical Evening. As a result of the amount raised, they were able to make a generous donation to the Meon Valley Baby Bank, which is a small local church led initiative, run by volunteers, which promotes the reuse and redistribution of good condition childrens’ clothing for ages up to 4 years.

MVARA is a brilliant group that lays on activities for folk aged 50+ who enjoy company and friendship as part of an active lifestyle”
