Lunch Clubs Fund
This page tells you about our Lunch Clubs Fund. Grants from this fund are offered on a year on year basis to support the activities of lunch clubs across the city. The majority of these are clubs run by and for older people.
If you are interested in joining a lunch club visit our Lunch Clubs page and use the search facilities to find details of clubs near you.
We are currently giving grants to around 70 different clubs. These grants are managed by our Voluntary Sector Liaison Team, which as well as acting as a first contact point for matters concerning grants also provides help and advice about:
- completing grant application and monitoring forms,
- meeting grant conditions,
- developing and implementing good practice.
For a list of lunch clubs awarded grants in 2009-10 go to the downloadable document at the bottom of this page. To find out about the clubs supported in Sheffield last year and their activities and impact take a look at our Lunch Clubs Fund Annual Report 2008-09.
Volunteering opportunities
The majority of lunch clubs are run by volunteers and there are lots of opportunities to get involved. Typically volunteers help with:
- Cooking and serving meals
- Bookkeeping and finances
- Organising and general administration
- Transporting members
- Activities and fundraising
