Club Vintage meets every week to enable older people to get out of the house, socialise, learn new things and take part in gentle exercise. Organised by Bethel Baptist Church, everyone is welcome, not just residents of Swavesey or church-goers.
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- meeting people with similar experiences can make us feel less alone;
- living with memory loss can make socializing difficult but everyone at Club Vintage is understanding and supportive;
- getting out of the house and doing something different is daunting but the sense of achievement afterwards is great.
"Club Vintage has been a lifesaver to me. I just love it. I miss my independence so much and always look forward to my Wednesday afternoons. It’s made such a difference particularly at a time when they’re cutting the bus service in the village. I can’t even walk to the bus stop or the surgery anymore. I am fortunate that a friend picks me up and takes me to Club Vintage. I had a wonderful sister but she died last April. She used to take me out all the time and I felt so much better for it. I love people and the more people that are around me the happier I am.” Margaret
