Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended','the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage'

Our charity was set-up to help local people from surrounding areas in Kilsyth. As we all get older, people are especially vulnerable to loneliness and social isolation. This can have an impact on our health and we feel that ways to overcome loneliness is with regular contact with people who are in the same position with being on their own. It can be a hard thing to reach out. We meet up every 2 weeks on a Tuesday and run from September - May. We do bingo with raffle prizes, local singers come along and we have a light lunch. We try to plan ahead with some outings (Christmas panto or lunch) and go to some local places like the Kelpies and some garden centres.

Beneficiaries: 'Children or young people','Older People','People with disabilities or health problems'

Objectives: To provide stimulation and social contact for blind and disabled residents in the Kilsyth area within a club setting, to lessen feelings of isolation and loneliness and to promote a sense of well-being
