“LEAP gave all the training and information I needed before I set foot in the club, and I am supported by members of LEAP’s staff throughout the lunch club. The lunch club runs twice monthly on the second and fourth Thursday of the month, hopefully starting on September 12 in Strathcona Sheltered Housing in The Murray. Volunteers would be needed from 11am to help set up lunch, support people through lunch and the activities and help clear up when the club finishes at 1.30pm.
