We are a growing group that meets regularly at The Lighthouse in Hargham Road. Our aim is to provide friendship and support to senior citizens living in and around the Attleborough area.
Monthly Coffee Mornings
Our free coffee mornings are open to anyone and are very popular and well attended. The ambience is relaxed and informal, ideal for catching up with old friends and the opportunity to make new ones. In the words of one of our regular attendees ….
” It’s a lovely friendly environment and I enjoy chatting with friends for a few hours - ideal for me, as I am on my own…..”
Why not drop in to the Lighthouse on the first and third Monday of each month and enjoy a free cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate, biscuits and a chat. Sometimes there is a short talk. Meetings are from 10am-12noon.
Seasonal Events
Four times a year we aim to offer a seasonal, themed lunch event or an afternoon tea followed by entertainment and a team quiz or activity such as bingo or a singalong. It’s a great way to have a laugh and make new friends. You will be able to enjoy a free meal prepared by our volunteers who will also serve and host you. These events are by invitation and advance booking is essential.
We can also help with transport to and from the venue for those who need it.
Telephone Befriending Service
Nothing beats meeting in person and having a chat over a cuppa. However, if you can’t get out for one reason or another, it’s great to have someone to chat to and who will also make sure that you are safe and well.
Treasures offers an ‘opt-in’ telephone befriending service with our volunteers. Many of our members took advantage of this new service during the lockdown period. Some great friendships have been formed through this service. ..”I love my regular phone call, I feel I’ve made a new friend..”
Newsletter
A publication is sent out every other month and covers a wide range of topics from interesting and fun facts, gardening tips, and recipes to thoughts for reflection, and puzzles.
Doorstep book and Jigsaw library
A popular loan service of books and jigsaw puzzles, which are delivered to and collected from your door.
