Our groups offer a way to learn new skills, share knowledge or just pursue an interest or hobby with others. It's the perfect opportunity to do what you enjoy and make friends at the same time.
Some groups are Facebook based, but most involve meeting up on a regular basis.
Groups are free to FiFi members, although there may be charges for materials.
