Lunch Club is important for lots of reasons; for the social aspect, to encourage trying ‘new things’, for the provision of a tasty lunch, and to give parents a break during the holidays. Sessions are thoughtfully coordinated by our team and facilitated by carefully selected partner organisations, each running a host of fun activities.
