On Wednesday 19th September Jason Williams of Age UK Northamptonshire was delighted to present a new set of Kurling equipment to the members of the Goldcrest Wellbeing and Friendship Club in Northampton.
The club was set up by Age UK Northamptonshire in 2015 with funding from the Growing Together charity. Growing Together also provided funding for the new Kurling equipment. The Goldcrest Wellbeing and Friendship Club meets every Wednesday for three hours and is now self-governing and has taken over the running of the monthly Curry and Kurling events. They will also use the Kurling set on other occasions.
The Wednesday sessions cost £2 each week and include a delicious hot meal, tea and coffee. The club provides physical and mental stimulation through gentle exercise sessions and also provides information on health improvement. Other activities include presentations, discussions, craft making, days out and in-house games such as Boccia, Beetle Drives, Hoy and quizzes. The club is open to older people living in Weston Favell, Blackthorn, Goldings, Brookside and other areas of Northampton.
