inforniation and the support available.
Every Friday between February to May and September to December we run a luncheon club
where we serve between 45 & SO meals. The luncheon dub ends the year with a Christmas
dlnner. This is a very important and worthwhile part of our work. This has helped to alleviate
Isolatlon and many friendships have been made as a result. For many It is the hi8hli8ht of
thelr week.
The bowlln8 club contlnues to meet every week In the local communlty centre. Thls Is
another great way to meet frfends and neighbours while keeplng actlve. Refreshments are
provlded and there are opportunltles to vlslt other clubs durfng the year.
The luncheon and bowlin8 club members also partlcipate in many trlps and excurslons
durlng the year. Those who attend the luncheon club also enjoy a programme of events such
as reflexology. head massa8es, keep fft. craft and tslks from dlfferent agencles on crime
prevention and mental health1s5ues.
We also run a very successful summer scheme in August with many local children in
attendance. The children enjoy sporL craf¢ coachlng and refreshments.
We also provide a youth club whlch has been very well attended. The children play sport,
make craft and have an opportunity to get to make new frlends over refreshments.
At Chrlstmas we host a Community Christmas Party. there are stalls, entertainment and
