WE DID IT!!

Earlier this month we received the Email we were waiting for, The National Lottery Community Fund has awarded us a wapping £18,000!! This will allow us to continue to provide transport to and from the Lunch Club, xmas dinners and trips for the next 2 years. We could not be happier!!! Please help us celebrate by spreading the good news for us. 

It has been a trying time for us with funds and members dwindling, until recently there was the very real possibility that the lunch club would cease to exist after 60+ years. With this funding we can now continue the good work within our local community, providing a safe, friendly space to meet and share a nutritious meal, increase our presence and membership and go from strength to strength. 

A Massive THANK YOU to all of our members past and present, and the wider community, for the continued support and encouragement.

 

P.S Look out for updates about future events and some celebration photos coming soon!! 

Funding update.

5 Apr 2024 22:25

A wee update on our application for funding from the National Lottery Community Fund. A representative has recently been in touch for a chat about what we want to achieve and what we have been doing to boost our membership. We chatted about funding transport being our biggest concern since free transport was withdrawn by NLC and the changes we have made to our constitution to attract new members. We also chatted about some of the challenges we face with so many other groups in the area competing for new members.

Avoid disappointment.

To all prospective new members, please be aware that we require a little notice if you wish to attend! This is to allow us to get in contact and arrange for meals to be ordered, once we have a chat we can let you know what is on the menu for the next get together. It also allows us to know if transport is required for you to attend. Bear in mind spaces on the minibus are limited and will be available on a first come first serve basis. we look forward to meeting you!
