01. About our lunch clubs
The lunch clubs are held every month at village pubs, community centres or restaurants for local residents who are over 65 years old to meet and socialise on a regular basis.
Coordinated by local volunteers, there are lunch clubs across Buckinghamshire – helping to tackle loneliness, especially in rural areas where there are few local services and poor public transport links.
5,330 lunches served to over 430 Bucks residents in FY 23/24, providing invaluable social connections for older people at risk of being lonely and isolated.
02. Lunch club locations
The lunch clubs run throughout Buckinghamshire. If you would like further details on any of the lunch clubs or about the scheme, contact us on 01844 617229 or email info@communityimpactbucks.org.uk.
