Real Purpose For The Elderly Through Friendship And Fun.
To offer a social opportunity for frail, elderly people living in Nuneaton and Bedworth. We meet on Tuesdays from 10am till 3pm- to socialise, have lunch, activities, speakers, outings, celebrations, friendship, etc. Door to door transport arranged.
Why the community needs this charity
Elderly people whose lifestyle is limited- owing to disability- often lose motivation and need company and something to look forward to. This in turn helps their family and carers.
Results and outcomes
Satisfaction questionnaires reinforce the importance of the club to those attending. The company, conversation and lasting friendships are as important as just getting out of the house. We have been operating since 2004 and still have some founder members regularly attending. The club can accommodate twenty members. There is a short waiting list. The helpers enjoy the club as much as the members.
