Hackney’s vibrant network of lunch clubs serves nutritious meals to local older residents. There are 12 clubs serving lunch to the borough’s diverse communities, including Vietnamese, Caribbean, Kurdish, Chinese and Cypriot groups.
The lunch clubs help to reduce isolation and improve health, wellbeing and connection. Many older people have been impacted by the pandemic and are now being hit by increasing fuel and food costs.
Hackney’s lunch clubs are more important than ever – providing warmth, food and connection. One lunch club member explains the benefits of attending the lunch clubs: “This club has been a lifeline for me.”
