Project Summary

We are a small group of pensioners who meet in Bridgend Community Centre every Tuesday afternoon to have Tea/Coffee and a chat , we also play chocolate bingo and do some quizzes. I also like to take them out on the occasional trip and a wee meal .To some of these pensioners this is the only time they spend with other people and I feel it is helping with their mental space

Project Description

To take them out for a wee trip and a meal , the buses are so expensive now due to the fuel costs . For a small bus I am £600 . Meals are in excess of £20 a head and there are 20 in the club at the moment.
