Social Inclusion

We need additional chairs to accommodate extra diners who have just joined the Luncheon Club and also to replace some old, worn chairs.

About this cause

We run a Luncheon Club, chiefly for the elderly twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays), which provides good nutritious food at a reasonable rate. Via the 'Access Bus', Members can be collected and meet primarily for the meal, but also for social interaction, which is very important to those who would otherwise be housebound. As one Member said when asked what she liked to eat, "Ee lass, I'll eat anything, I mainly come for the company". Linked to the Luncheon Club is a Craft Group, actively working to raise funds to support the Luncheon Club. There is also a monthly Cake Stall, providing those naughty but nice treats and fundraising at the same time. Those who wish can stay for Bingo on a Thursday. Through regular contact with the elderly we can respond to other needs where necessary.

How this cause brings people in the community together

The chairs will be comfortable for the Luncheon Club Members and will make life easier for the volunteers. They will also be available to other groups using the premises, i.e. Craft Group, Toddler Group, Slimming World and Church Groups as well as outside lettings, e.g. children's parties.
