The Wednesday Group are a social group for older people who meet every Wednesday and eat lunch together. They play bingo, have afternoon tea and cakes, a raffle every few weeks, day trips, go to restaurants and visit the theatre when they can. They support members who feel isolated, who are on a limited income and people with disabilities and visual impairments.
Why the community needs usProviding a vital opportunity for elderly people in Milton Keynes to get together and experience fun and friendship. Without this group, many of these individuals may be left in isolation within their own homes.
Our impact on the communityThe important work that we do has been recognised by age UK, and we are now supporting between 25 and 30 elderly group members every week. Our members often comment on how our work has affected them, and many have commented that attending the group has provided the highlight of their week! They love the fact that everyone is listenned to, and their imput is really valued.
