This funding will allow them to expand their current service by using the local community transport to pick up guests and buy more food.

The lunch group allows people who struggle with getting out and about to look forward to meeting new friends once a week so they feel better connected to their local community.

The group were awarded £1,368 and the lunch groups are up and running and proving very successful with 20 plus attendees each week.

The group meet every Wednesday lunchtime between 12 and 1pm at St.Crispins Church. LE3 2JW – all are welcome!

"We were so happy when we heard we had been lucky enough to get the funding! We’ve already started to have an impact on the lives of locals and look forward to seeing the group grow. I love seeing the joy that these groups bring to people each week. For some, it may be their only outing that week so we try and make it as enjoyable as we can for them." Roo,
Group Leader
