Ukulele groups are one of the most popular social activities in the UK especially in close knit village communities with new groups being formed almost daily. The Ukulele is a very simple instrument to learn to play and perfectly good instruments are available e.g. from Amazon @ between €30 to €60.
Most schools now teach pupils to play the ukulele because it is a much more versatile instrument than recorders and is more likely to encourage players to become enthusiastic about music.

Our Ukulele Group had its first meeting on the 17th November and, meets each Thursday at 2pm at Sol Park Tennis Club.
All are welcome and song lists with simple chord charts are freely available. Many UK groups raise £thousands for local charities e.g the Eskdale group in N. Yorks. has raised more than £10,000 for the local Air Ambulance service.
Unfortunately, UK Groups appear to be a little shy but this is an American group showing what it’s all about:
