Lunch club launched in Marston Green

A LOCAL charity has recently launched a brand-new club for older residents.
Age UK Solihull started the Lunch Club at Marston Green Tavern earlier this year, the latest in a series of weekly meet-ups for the over 60s.
The group meets every Tuesday from 11.45am-3.45pm, with the lunch followed by a range of social activities. The total cost is £8.
It is one of a number of initiatives the charity is running to alleviate loneliness, which continues to be a major challenge for the borough.
At last week's Full Council meeting, Chelmsley Wood councillor James Burn highlighted the sense of isolation felt by many thousands of local people - although he acknowledged that it wasn't just the elderly who felt cut off, with a growing number of younger people also experiencing loneliness.
To register for the event at the Station Road pub call Age UK Solihull on 0121 704 7846.
