Debbie is a trustee of a charity Pocklington Rugby in the Community. Part of their work involves supporting elderly people who are lonely, isolated, vulnerable and for this they run a social on the last Friday of every month at the rugby club.
What started out as a handful of people getting together for a game of dominos and a cup of tea/coffee has now grown. They have around 50 regulars who have had opportunities to make new friends and really feel they belong to something as well as having new experiences!
They are always looking for volunteers who might like to help out with providing cakes etc it would not be every month as they try to share the load round.
If anyone is interested in being involved and want to know more just drop Debbie a message on 07788100201.
Debbie says she cannot tell you how great it is to meet people in Pocklington who are now full of enthusiasm and tell her how the Friday social is the highlight of their month or that they've discovered new skills as a result of the activity they've been introduced to at the social, be it crocheting, pot making, quizzing, bingo, crafts!!
