A new lunch club has started at Vale View Day Centre in Lancaster, aimed at the over-50s.

The lunch club costs just £4.60. Regular dishes on the menu include fish and chips, roast dinners, homemade fruit crumbles and custard.

There’s a range of activities including men’s groups, arts and crafts, exercise activities, dominoes, DVD shows, quizzes and a game of bingo.

Vale View is owned and run by Lancashire County Council.

Sian Bonnell, senior care assistant, said: “The lunch club takes places every day, from Monday to Friday. So if you fancy a day off from cooking, it provides you with a hot and tasty meal.

“There are lots of activities during the afternoon, which is a good way! to meet new people and even catch up with friends.”

• Vale View is on Stratford Close,, off Shakespeare Road, Skerton. Pre-booking for the lunch club is essential and you need to make your own transport arrangements. For more details, contact 01524 381164 or email dso.valeviewdaycentreATlancashire.gov.uk
