Brenda, Val and a fantastic team of enthusiastic volunteers do a great job to help tackle loneliness and isolation for older people living in Shenstone.
I recently visited their Brunch Club, and went back to Wesley Hall this weekend with my wife to join villagers for the Lunch Club - although Clare did also help with serving and washing up!
But it’s not just food that the club are offering. It’s an opportunity for older residents to meet up with others and have a chat. Sadly for some older residents, it can be over a week since they’ve spoken to someone and this brilliant club encourages more people to get out and see others - which can be crucial as we get older.
