VAEF: Befriending - Community Clubs
The Community Clubs Service funded by The Big Lottery aims to provide support and friendship for those living on their own or in isolation in Epping Forest. As well as offering weekly social clubs, Voluntary Action Epping Forest Community Clubs offer monthly luncheon clubs and day trips out which include visits to the theatre, boat rides and much more. These outings provide much needed stimulation to many, whilst reducing their social/rural isolation, and improving quality of life. If required, we can provide transport to these clubs.
