Thriving Lunch Club in Lambourn!
Hot lunches are collected from Fair Close every Thursday by Lambourn Junction Community Interest volunteers.
Help Name Our New Dementia Service Club
We plan to set up a new Dementia service later this year to meet growing demand and we would like your help to name our new Club. This will provide outstanding day care for those living with early to moderate stages of dementia as well as providing very important respite for carers
Building Improvements Start
We have started work to provide much needed office accommodation, a separate entrance and secure, enclosed patio at the rear of Fair Close. We also plan to renovate the lounge to create a more functional, versatile and uplifting modern space.
