Luncheon clubs
Swindon has luncheon clubs which are mostly run by local community and voluntary organisations. They offer the chance to socialise and a hot meal.
What is a Luncheon Club?
Luncheon Clubs provide a chance to socialise and meet old friends, or new friends and have a hot meal for people over 65. Usually they open for just a few hours each day. They provide a place to go to enjoy a hot meal to save you from cooking at home. They also provide the opportunity to get out of the home. All members of the community are welcome and the clubs try hard to cater for everybody's different dietary and cultural needs.

How much does it cost to go there?
The charges vary but none of the luncheon clubs aim to make a profit. In addition to the cost of any meals provided, many charge a small amount for coffee and tea as well as holding raffles to help out with the cost of entertainment, parties, or special occasions during the year.
How can I get there?
We encourage you to arrange your own transport. If you find it difficult to use public transport there are other ways of getting there. Follow the link below for more information.
