About this cause

The Club provides a social gathering up to 30 elderly people. It is non-funded and is run by volunteers. The local Church offers us premises, insurance and heating. We aim to reduce social isolation by arranging a varied programme, often provided by local entertainers. These activities are stimulating, encourage participation and provide a sense of well-being. The Club has become a vital social lifeline for elderly people and is an important part of the local community. Amazingly the Club will celebrate 50 years next year. If successful we wish to provide a monthly lunch which will further support our senior village folk.

How this cause brings people in the community together

We are promoting physical and mental wellbeing, lessening the need for carers. We are helping to promote community health in our over 60s.
