Volunteers needed for Wrose lunch club


Wrose MethodistChurch, Thornacre Road, Wrose, Shipley, BD18 1JY

CAN YOU HELP PLEASE?

We run a Lunch Club at Wrose Methodist Church weekly on every Wednesday.   Due to unforeseen circumstances, after Christmas we urgently need a volunteer to cook the meals in our well-appointed kitchen, with the help of other volunteers.   If you are enthusiastic about cooking and love to feed a good number of people, then this might just be what you’re looking for!

The job entails planning menus for each week, buying the ingredients the day before (quantity dependent upon numbers booking a lunch) and cooking a main course and a dessert on the Wednesday morning.  Numbers attending range between 15 and 22.   Lunch is served between 12 noon and 1 p.m.   We are willing to discuss expenses if a volunteer has to travel any distance.  

We also require volunteers to help in the kitchen, and generally with the setting up of the tables, putting out crockery and cutlery, etc. and serving the meals.

If more than one volunteer were to come forward, for either job, then a rota could be organised so that the commitment would only be fortnightly etc. if weekly is too much.   So please don’t hesitate to let us know if you can offer anything at all!

We would be really grateful if you could help us, as we consider the Lunch Club to be an important service to the elderly in Wrose, offering a friendly atmosphere, good quality food at a reasonable price, interesting people to talk to and various activities throughout the year.

If you can see your way clear to volunteering – if only for once a month! – then please contact us - wrose@bradfordnorth.org.uk

Thank you.

Wrose Buddies - A wonderful success story at Wrose Methodist Church

Approached by the Halle Project in 2012 to see if we would be interested in setting up a Well Being Cafe, the church was excited at the prospect of setting up a monthly session for those who suffer from dementia or Alzheimer's, for their carers, for the lonely and housebound. Jean and John Watmough worked in conjunction with Carol at halle and put together a group who would provide once a month a haven for those with particular need. For various reasons it could not be called a Well Being Cafe, and so the name "Wrose buddies" was born. Carol organises taxis to bring people to the church hall once a month, lays on the entertainment, the music, a speaker, food. From the start a charge of £3 per person and a voluntary payment of £1 per strip for the raffle was asked for and willingly given. a group of volunteers was formed and meets once a month before the session to make preparations so that those attending have an afternoon to remember. At first numbers were reaching 20...
