Could you spare one Monday morning a month as a volunteer making lunch at the Lunch Club? We’re a wonderful group of elderly people and, for many of us, the lunch club is the only reason we get a hot meal or have any company. In return, volunteers can enjoy the company of other volunteers, learn from a fantastic cooking teacher and try out your own recipes if you’re already a confident cook. Interested in volunteering? Call Beryl on 07725 184002.
