Volunteers are needed for a luncheon club in Thorpe St Andrew ahead of its launch in January next year.

Thorpe Luncheon Club will provide those who are living alone with a chance to socialise in a relaxed and friendly environment.

It is now seeking volunteers to help with transporting members to Roxley Hall on Yarmouth Road.

The club is a partnership between Thorpe St Andrew Town Council and the Buddies Day Service

Visitors will have the chance to enjoy a freshly cooked three-course lunch.

Town mayor Ian Mackie said: This new project, designed to target those who may be on their own, will provide a lovely community facility for those who want to come and socialise and have a freshly cooked, locally sourced, hot meal.'
