Happy 1st Birthday Lunch Club

Our lunch club brings older people together every 1st and 3rd Wednesday at St. Andrews Centre, Pershore.

Our Wheelchair Accessible vehicle

Thanks to recent grants we have been able to purchase a wheelchair accessible vehicle meaning that disabled people within our community can benefit from the chance to use this vehicle, offering new freedom and independence to individuals and their families
