Starting on Thursday November 3rd, a new Lunch Club from Making Space.

To help carers through the winter months we have decided to set up a weekly Winter Warmer Lunch Club.

Each Thursday we will be providing a quality warm meal, hot drinks and cakes to carers and the person they care for. We will also have items to take away such as tins, jars, cupboard essentials and breakfast items. We will have staff and volunteers on hand to give you advice and information of other winter support available and there will also be activities or entertainment and a free raffle!

The club is proposed to run from November to March, every Thursday 12pm-3pm at Boothtown Methodist Church.
