A ‘feel good’ club is being launched in Burnley with the aim of bringing people together, reducing loneliness and strengthening community spirit.
Rosegrove Rosegrove Neighbourhood Watch has announced the launch of its monthly social afternoon.
The ‘Feel-Good Club’ will be held at Rosegrove Railway Club from 2pm to 5pm on Wednesday afternoons on the following dates: October 7, November 4 and December 2.
Each afternoon will include live entertainment, a pie and pea meal, three games of bingo and plenty of opportunities to meet new people in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The club is open to everyone, particularly those who enjoy social activities and would like to make new friends.
Entry is a suggested donation of £5 per person, which includes food and bingo. The aim is to provide an affordable, welcoming event where local residents can enjoy quality entertainment, companionship and a great afternoon out.
A spokesman for Rosegrove Neighbourhood Watch said: "We know that many people experience loneliness or simply want more opportunities to socialise, this club offers a warm, welcoming place where everyone can enjoy good food, entertainment and great company. We hope it becomes a regular highlight in people's calendars."
The project has been made possible through the support of the Eric Wright Charitable Trust, Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale Council for Voluntary Service, Rosegrove Railway Club, and the dedication of volunteers from Rosegrove Neighbourhood Watch. The watch youth and community hub was recently awarded a £20,000 cash grant from the National Lottery.
