Boomerang continues to develop the services we provide for older people to encourage social interaction between older and younger people (volunteers) and promote healthy and active lifestyles. Boomerang enjoys great success with our programme for older people.
As eating is one of life's pleasures and is an important social event for most people we make use of the kitchen as the hub for most of our older peoples activities. The lunch clubs held at Boomerang gives older people the opportunity to leave the house, and to meet old friends and make new ones in a warm and friendly setting. The lunch club provides the opportunity to socialise whilst enjoying a hot, healthy balanced and nutritious meal. The lunch club operates 5 days per week, and is run by a kitchen assistant with assistance from volunteers, where upwards of 30 meals, using locally sourced, fresh food cooked on our premises, are supplied at a very reasonable cost.
Apart from the social side of the lunch club the activities on offer include:
Games, including Bingo and Dominoes
Exercise groups
Tea Dances
Health and Wellbeing
Signposting and information to other local services
The Lunch Club at Boomerang makes its best effort to create a unique place where older people can socialise with each other in a comfortable and relaxed environment whilst enjoying a freshly cooked hot meal, tea/coffee and partake in activities that are consistent with their wellbeing. We are in the business of helping older people to relieve their daily stresses by providing piece of mind through great ambiance, convenient location, friendly customer service and products of consistently high quality.
