Helped by generous financial support from Walsingham Care, we provide a full programme of social events for our friends in the community.
CHEER’s events
Coffees and lunches at cafes, garden centres and pubs and other events with local schools or community centres are ever popular.
They provide a welcome and much-needed opportunity for older people to get out and socialise. Help is provided with transport where needed, especially for those with mobility problems.
Jane was concerned that her husband was not getting out at all as his confidence was poor following a period of poor health. Jane brought him to an event and met a friend she had not seen for many years. That friendship has widened both their circles of friendship and they now regularly attend CHEER events.
John was referred to CHEER and became a regular at our Pub Social events. He was collected by a volunteer each time and enjoyed the company that the event provided. John also welcomed the idea of a regular volunteer visit.
