Offaly Healthy Homes working with several community partners have developed a social outing called Lunch Club. Once Covid 19 restrictions eased in early 2022 we launched this new initiative which has proven to be hugely popular has gone from 2 areas to 12 areas currently with expansion being planned for more communities in the coming months. The aim of the lunch club is to provide a positive environment where people can meet, enjoy a good meal together and socialise with their local community. As well as enjoying a healthy meal and social interacting at the lunch club clients can get help and information on support services they may need to improve their quality of life at home.
The club is open to anyone over 55 years old and we would love to see as many people as possible come along. Our wish is to support older people to live independently by bringing people together in their communities, providing a healthy lunch, engaging them in social activities and facilitating social connections.
We try to keep the cost to the client as low as possible and currently charge €10.00 per person for dinner, dessert, goodies & entertainment held over a three-hour period usually between 12:30pm and 3:30pm.
So far, we have dates booked n for Ballycumber, Banagher, Barna, Birr, Clareen, Cloghan, Coolderry, Kilcormac, Kinnitty, Mountbolus, Muckalgh & Shinrone with special events like Christmas parties being held in Dan & molly's Ballyboy.
