Make Lunch is a club for families to connect with each other, share a meal and have fun! On your first visit you will be greated by our team leader who will help you to feel welcome. Our volunteers will entertain your children with games and activities so you can relax and enjoy your meal.

Make Lunch Holiday Club is for you if your children are eligible for free school meals or you’re struggling on a tight budget at the moment! We ask all of our families to register for Make Lunch by completing a short, online form. Please contact us for more information and to register your family.

Our fun sessions include lunch, crafts, games and special events for the children. Our club is open on Mondays and Thursdays from 12noon till 1.30pm during school holidays. Feel free to go out for a bit and leave your kids or join in yourself!

All children (and adults) are welcome, but we do ask that children under 4 are accompanied by an adult.

Timebanking is a way for local people to come together and help each other by exchanging knowledge, help and skills. Everyone has something to offer a Timebank from making a cake, picking up a prescription, walking their dog, doing some gardening, visiting someone for a cup of tea, welcoming new residents to the village, whatever you do will make a difference to the person that needs your help.

Come and join us at one of our events and you could get involved and help each other in our community!

You could offer a lift, mow a lawn, befriend a neighbour or even crochet a Dementia Forgetmenot... the ways to help are endless.

The Morden Scheme helps the elderly and vulnerable people living in the Mordens, Litlington and Bassingbourn to be as self-sufficient as possible and continue to live happy and independent lives.

A Warden telephones each member every weekday morning to confirm that they are safe and well. If they can’t get a reply, then there is an escalation process using nominated friends or relatives.

Each member is visited by a Warden at an agreed time every week. In addition to a friendly chat, the Warden will ensure that there are no new health or safety issues and will follow up on outstanding matters.

The Warden will also liaise with health or welfare organisations as required, and provide additional help, for example collecting a prescription, emergency shopping or completing a form.

For more details on how to apply either for yourself, a friend, neighbour or relative visit www.mobilewardenscheme.co.uk or call 07841 025107
