At lunchtime on Wednesday 21st September, the Northmoor Community Café served hot meals to 25 local people. They offer meals for £1 on Wednesdays so that people can eat nutritious food. This has the wider benefit of people getting together to make new friends and meet up with existing ones, which could help to reduce loneliness and isolation. They can also find out about what is going on at the centre and in the community. Today, there was also a volunteer helping out and Macmillan were at the centre giving out information.
The volunteer said, “I have gained a lot of confidence and learnt to cook. I have also got my Food Hygiene Level 3 qualification so that has increased my skills. All the staff are helpful and encourage me to be more creative with my cooking.”
Northmoor Community Association is a community centre based in the Longsight area and its main focus is to bring a vibrant, viable and sustainable feature to the community. It offers activities and services such as a homework club, community café, walking group and volunteering opportunities.
