The first Sunday in the month is now a day to look forward to for members of the newly formed Sunday Lunch Club in Calverley.
“Especially when you live on your own, this gives you the encouragement to get up and get out,” was a view shared by diner Janet.
She says Sunday can be a difficult day when you are on your own and don’t have family around – and this was a view quickly shared by a couple of other members who were enjoying chatting to others and welcoming new members.
“You can’t fault the food,” enthused Marlene and the smiles around the tables and empty plates said it all!
The Sunday Lunch Club for the over 55s started in September and meet at Calverley Methodist Church on the first Sunday of the month. A lovely homely atmosphere and a warm welcome are guaranteed when diners arrive to socialise and enjoy some home cooked food with others.
Sarah Cohen, Community Co-ordinator at MHA Communities, and volunteers Wendy and Margaret, made a hearty two course traditional meal with home-made Yorkshire Puddings which was enjoyed by over twenty diners on Sunday.
New members are welcome. Join MHA for Sunday Lunch, 12.30pm to 2.30pm, £10 contribution. Contact MHA Communities Farsley on 0113 290 9340 or email farsley@mha.org.uk.
Another new addition to the Calverley timetable is the Singing for Pleasure Club. which is
held weekly on a Monday at Calverley Methodist Church between 1.30pm and
3pm.
Oli Craven, Scheme Manager at MHA, is also looking forward to adding a Friday Coffee Shop and a monthly Saturday Café to the offering in Calverley.
MHA Communities organises a range of activities, socialising and wellbeing events each week for the over 55s in Calverley, Farsley, Pudsey and Tyersal. More details can be found here.
