02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The Club is utilised on a monthly or weekly basis by many local organisations, including amongst others a Readers Group, U3A, a Bridge Club, SWI, the Alzheimers Society, a music tutor, the local Community Council, and Dumfries & Galloway Council. Several organisations hold committee meetings in the Club. The local parish Church holds monthly coffee mornings, and an acoustic band hold informal “jamming” sessions. Such activities run by the user-groups, are a means of allowing attendees various opportunities for people to take up pastimes or pursuits that will be beneficial to their physical and/or mental health and wellbeing, and for learning and practising skills. These opportunities can help reduce social exclusion and so allow an improvement in conditions of life
