enabling them to socialise, meet people, enjoy themselves and learn new skills.
These activities include:
Community coffee mornings, regular weekly leisure courses, arts and craft courses, health, well-being and lifestyle courses, taster sessions and drop in sessions.
We have a Lunch Club for
older adults, where transport can be provided to and from their home and they
can socialise in a friendly environment, enjoy a hot meal and take part in a
range of activities. The Lunch Club helps to reduce loneliness and isolation
and encourages older adults to be independent.
