Micro-Grant Report: Aspiring 2 (2017)

Aspiring provided afternoon tea to our guests; arranged memorabilia items around the room; during afternoon tea their guests were encouraged to select something from the memory table and to tell other guests any memories it may have evoked for them

Background

Aspiring 2 facilitated four events in Edlington, Denaby, Askern, and in association with the Partially Sighted Society, to a total of 90 different people.

They served an assortment of sandwiches and cakes and their guests were keen to share their stories. Once the musical bingo started there was evidence of singing, toe tapping and in some instances dancing.

They spoke about other support services available and other social groups and invited B-Friend along to link the guests with their befriending service.

They handed out information which they thought may be of interest to or benefit the client group.

Conclusion

Reinforces our belief that being lonely and isolated has a negative impact on the health and wellbeing of our client group – older people, those with dementia, those with life limiting conditions and carers.
