Club aims to ‘transform lives for good’

Okehampton Make Lunch Club opened its doors for the first time at Easter. The lunch club, at your local Baptist church, has a team of newly trained volunteers and a wonderful refurbished kitchen.

The free club is aimed at primary school children but all siblings are welcome too. They are opening one day a week during all school holidays, with fun, organised activities and a hot healthy meal for children and their parents/carers who find buying extra food in the holidays a struggle. 

Jo Morgan, co-ordinator, said: ‘Many of us have noticed that we have to make hard choices between heating our homes and eating. The Lunch Club aims to ease your burden a little, and support local families through this fun and safe space.

‘We would love to accommodate all who want to attend, so please book on to help us to prepare the right amount of food. You can book on to the sessions you’d like to attend by getting in touch using the contact details below. Please also inform us of any dietary requirements on booking, so that we can be prepared to cater accordingly.’ 

Please note that on arrival, all those attending will need to be registered, and all children who attend must be accompanied by their parent/carer.

The sessions will take place Wednesdays from 11am to 1.30pm.
