Directories are only good if they are kept up to date, have good search facilities and include a huge range of services on offer from individuals, community groups, and organisations in the public and private sectors.

To remove all the confusion on where to go to look, we have selected the two directories in Dorset that fit the above criteria and are being actively maintained and improved.

They are full to the brim with activities, services and support to help people live a happy and healthy life. If the options feel overwhelming at first then use the filters to narrow down the options available.

Please bear in mind under current circumstances, activities are changing all the time so once you’ve found an activity you like, it is best to contact them direct to check.
