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. Five volunteers run it each week; one project manager, an experienced chef, kitchen staff and volunteers who assist in hosting the event.
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, biscuits and cake and a game or two of bowls or bingo between 11am and 12noon. Though on occasions entertainment may vary – we had a professional ballet dancer performing at our Easter Lunch Club, we have also had live musicians performing. We intend to expand the lunch club's functional range by hiring advice workers, who can give guidance on issues relating to finances and health, and providing IT lessons led by a qualified IT trainer.
Around 1pm 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 drinks including white wine and spritzer. This relaxed and comfortable setting provides the perfect opportunity for friends to catch up and new friendships to meet one another.
