02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Our charity is set up to provide a free of charge annual day trip for the more elderly residents of Darvel, aged 70 and over, allowing them to enjoy a coach trip and meal in the company and friendship of others. We hire coaches and pay for a meal for everyone. For those unable to attend, we deliver a gift of biscuits or chocolates to help them feel included. We aim to provide a welcome and enjoyable change to the daily routine of the elderly by organising an enjoyable day out in the company of others of a similar age.
