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.

About Carers Wellbeing Service Calderdale

Within our service we offer specialist support to young adult carers aged 18-25 and as part of this we run monthly activity sessions for the group. These sessions may include bowling, meals out and day trips. We are looking for a volunteer to support our young adult carers lead during these sessions.

Why should you volunteer?

This is a great opportunity to meet people, learn things whilst also utilising your skills and experiences. You would be making a difference supporting people to have fun whilst also using their strengths to build confidence. You would be encouraging people to keep active either physically or mentally which has positive benefits on health and wellbeing.
