As a volunteer-led community group our Pensioners Dinner Club in Prescot feeds 40 older people every week.

We are a volunteer led community group running a pensioners dinner club in Prescot. We feed 40 older people a hot meal, dessert and tea and coffee every Wednesday. We have had to start to turn people away as our cooker is broken, and too small to feed many more. It was never our intention to have to turn people away, and we would like to grow and expand our group to impact more lives. Many of our attendees would otherwise be socially isolated, and our dinner club is the only time they leave the house. We do not have the funds to replace the cooker ourselves. Attendees pay £2 per week, and also buy bingo and raffle tickets. This money subsidises the meals, and trips out that we do 4/5 times a year. Saving for a new cooker would take us a long time, and would mean that we can no longer subsidise trips, that are too expensive for our residents at full cost.

Prescot Ladies win the Greater Manchester Hockey Summer League

Prescot Ladies win the Greater Manchester Hockey Summer League

After a mammoth series of hockey matches over the Summer, Prescot Ladies emerged victorious. In the first phase of the competition the ladies won their pool to qualify for League 1. The Prescot juniors in their first tournament also qualified from their pool into League 4. In this phase of the competition both teams had to play ten games over just 5 weeks and secure a top four finish to qualify for the semi finals. The Prescot Ladies finished third with 26 points and the Juniors won their league with a stunning 28 points.

The Juniors did amazingly well and won their semi final 3 1 against City of Manchester before going down 2 1 in the Final against a very strong Oldham senior side. A fantastic effort from the youngsters to win a silver medal in their very first competition!

In the League One Cup Prescot ladies beat hot favourites Didsbury Greys on penalties before defeating Didsbury Northern one nil in the Final to claim the main prize as Greater Manchester Summer League Champions.

The 2017 silverware is adding up already with the Mixed team winning the annual Golborne 7s for the third time in succession.
