services
We are aiming to provide a range of services specially designed to meet the needs of older people.
The “Goldelicious” café project In January 2012, we extended our luncheon club to include catering for the general public. As well as having access to a hot, nutritious, and well-balanced meal at an affordable price, our members can now socialize while enjoying their lunch with people living or working in the local community.
