You may want to think about splitting them up as a 17 year old may have different hobbies to someone who is 78
Thats a point why not ask them what they would like to do? Whilst I was there I went to two social events that clients from the learning disabilities team organised themselves. The OT's go along as chaperones and give a list of activities and social outings the group want to go on. Maybe think about the same thing - think up different activites the people might want to do and get them to vote on it. Not sure what I have on the computer, but I'll email you privately with what the independent living group did.
