Community Lunch Clubs
Eat Well, Make Friends & Join Your Community
Join a community lunch club in your community
Community based lunch clubs provide a positive environment where older people can meet, enjoy a good meal together, socialise with their neighbours, and make new friends all within their local community.
Some lunch clubs meet once a week, a month and some every other week (fortnightly). They are set up and run by volunteers and meals are catered by COPE Galway Community Catering Service. Older people get to enjoy a nutritious meal and social interaction. They can also get information on support and services to improve their quality life at home.
We are currently working with local communities and volunteers to get lunch clubs safely starting up again as restrictions continue to lift. Below are some that running again.

It means a lot to us as it’s a chance to meet our friends and enjoy music, singing and dancing and have fun. The atmosphere in the club is always joyful and good and welcoming. There’s always a story to be told or heard
