Lunch Clubs for the Elderly in Kent

Lunch Clubs for the Elderly in Kent

Lunch Clubs for the Elderly in KentLunch clubs are a great way for elderly people to get out, enjoy conversation and eat a balanced and healthy meal. This reduces some of the housework that needs to be done, such as cooking and washing up, as well as combating isolation and reducing loneliness.

Age Space have put together the following guide to lunch clubs in Kent, detailing the relevant contact details and scheduling for each. It is always worth calling ahead to ensure that there is space for your elderly relative and that the club is running as normal.

We also recommend taking a look at Day Care Centres in Kent, as these services will often provide lunch as well.
