The Parish Council secured a grant of £300 to purchase a counter top oven, which gives Necton Lunch Club the opportunity to expand and provide 36 meals at their monthly lunches. This is a very popular club, providing people, living alone or housebound, the opportunity to get out, have a hot meal and enjoy some lively company.
Run by members of the Church, every month, these volunteers set up a banqueting table in the community centre, provide a taxi service for those who can’t travel, cook a nutritious two course meal, using fresh ingredients and to exacting standards of hygiene that has assured them of a certificate rating 5 (the highest) from Breckland Council.
The funds were granted by the Lord Baker Community Fund, which is managed by Norfolk Community Foundation.
