Pembroke House

Welcome to the Pembroke Luncheon Club

PLC was launched in January 2010 and has been going strong with a good core of regulars since then. Three to five volunteers run it each week; Miriam manages the project and assists Nadia, our experienced chef, with the food preparation, we also benefit from the important assistance of part-time volunteers in setting up and clearing away.

Aims

PLC aims to provide a relaxed and sociable space for older Walworth residents to gather, helping to reduce social isolation. Members are also given the opportunity to use advisory and IT services made available alongside the lunch club.

Healthy living has become a particular focus in the work of Pembroke House in 2010 and PLC aims to support this. So each week our lunches combine healthy and fresh ingredients, bought locally, to produce a meal that is both delicious and nutritious. All the food is prepared on-site, in our brand-new professional-standard kitchen. 

What goes on

Lunch Club users can turn up for tea, home-baked cake and a game or two of bowls or bingo between 11am and 12noon. At the same time, they may also like to talk with an advice worker, hired by Pembroke House, who can give guidance on issues relating to finances and health. The Pembroke House IT suite will also be available for use, and on some weeks there will be a qualified IT trainer leading IT workshops.

At 12noon our freshly made  lunch is served in the main hall, catering for 20 people, accompanied by popular music from the 30s, 40s and 50s. Members can choose from a selection of red or white wine and soft beverages. This relaxed and comfortable setting provides the perfect opportunity for friends to catch up and new friendships to meet one another.
