Why the community needs usThe day centre is organised and run by volunteers with no paid staff. Providing hot meals at low cost we help provide companionship and friendship which benefits the older people of Frome. Enjoying time together gives the members a better quality of life by incorporating Active Living facilities for a healthy lifestyle. On the last Thurday of the month a representative from Age UK attends to give confidential advice on advocacy and benefits. He attends from 11am till 1pm.
Our impact on the communityWe average 120 lunches weekly. For some this is the only hot meals they get a week, coming for friendship and companionship. For these people our aim is to provide a lasting relationship where loneliness has been the normal lifestlye. We like to get people out of their homes to join us. All are welcome and local buses provide travel to the football club. The younger at heart enjoy the Line Dancing, with a good following for the exercises, and computer internet training for the older person.
