Their help allows us to enhance the lives of older people in our community.

Without our volunteers LEAP couldn't do what it does. That's why this #volunteersweek2024 we can't say thank you enough.

[LEAP Project @LEAP_1992]

Our thanks to Michael Shanks and Robert Brown for coming along and helping us celebrate our Wednesday Lunch Club last week. Both took time to talk to people living with dementia, particularly the carers in the group, who told them what a lifeline the club has become already.
