Objectives

BENEFICIARIES: Our organisation helps older people in Lewisham and surrounding areas from the Asian Community. We also work closely with other local groups and welcome anyone with an interest in Asian culture.

THE SERVICE: We provide a weekly opportunity for isolated older people to socialise, support each other, and share information about local events and health and wellbeing. We also share a wholesome vegetarian Indian meal together. We always seek to find ways to improve the quality of life of our members.

IMPACT: The group is the highlight of many people's week; they look forward to coming each Friday. Through the group members have access to health and wellbeing activities, mental stimulation, reminiscence, trips, talks and companionship?
