Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin is opening a new lunch club for older people in partnership with The Meatball Shack on Whitchurch Road, Shrewsbury.
The club will meet on the second Wednesday of every month from 12.30–2.30pm, beginning Wednesday 10 September.
The cost is just £8.00 for a main meal, dessert and glass of water. No membership is required, but all lunches must be pre-booked and cancelled if you are unable to attend.
Emma Wilde, Welbeing Services Manager at the charity, said: “Our lunch clubs give older people a chance to get out and meet people in their local area and to forge new friendships. The Meatball Shack is a lovely place with delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere so please pop along.”
The Meatball Shack is run by husband-and-wife team Gee and Max.
“There’s something really special about sharing food, it brings people together,” said Max. “We are very pleased to be a partner of Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin, and we will work together to make everyone feel welcome and valued, especially those who might be feeling a bit lonely or disconnected.”
