02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
We are a group of volunteers who run a weekly lunch club for older adults over the age of 60 in Pencaitland and the surrounding area. We provide aid, assistance and support for our members and offer access to a healthy nutritious meal, exercise, a varied programme of entertainment, trips and activities, intergenerational contact and the opportunity to meet people and make friends. Our aim is to reduce social isolation, combat loneliness and support our most vulnerable elderly residents to take part in activities that they would not otherwise be able to access. We are seeking funding to allow us to continue to provide that service and to cover the costs of transport to and from the lunch club for those who are unable to travel unaided. rent of local hall as we have no fixed premises and food costs to cover the costs of lunch.
