Warrington Day Service has launched a free weekly supper club to help with cost of living crisis

Local residents who experience mental health issues can drop into Warrington Day Service on Allen Street between 5pm and 8pm to enjoy a meal and a hot drink and receive free, confidential advice.

The menu includes a choice of mains and desserts, with diners voting for the following week’s supper each week.

The supper club, which is funded and supported by Warrington Borough Council and Warrington Voluntary Action, will offer a warm, friendly and safe environment for people to make new connections and receive support and information.

Kerry Paighton is the manager at Warrington Day Service. She says: “The cost of living crisis is causing real hardship and anxiety for many Warrington residents and is affecting people’s health and wellbeing.

“Many people are experiencing poor mental health for the first time, while others are experiencing a worsening of their existing condition. By coming along to the supper club, they can enjoy a hot meal, make new friends and access support and information.

“We’d particularly like to reach new people who don’t currently attend the day service. Everyone is welcome and they’ll find a friendly, welcoming space with people to talk to, activities to take part in and connections to lots of other groups in the community.”

The supper club is free to attend, and no referral is required. However, as numbers are limited, those interested in attending are advised to call Warrington Day Service on 01925 652204 to ensure availability.
