The Marsden Building Society Charitable Foundation awarded a £2,740 grant to the Aged, Blind & Disabled (ABD) Centre in Bacup, Rossendale.
The ABD Centre provides a socially inclusive environment by housing various community groups that cater to the diverse needs of local people. The donated funds covered the costs of room hire to continue running three different groups. These groups include the ‘Thursday Lunch Club’, which is dedicated to dementia patients and their carers, the ‘Crafting Group’, where retirees can enjoy arts and crafts while reducing loneliness, and the ‘Friday Club’, which is a social club for over 65s.
The centre plays a crucial role in providing a safe and welcoming space for local groups to come together and improve the lives of local residents. We recognise the value of community groups in addressing issues such as loneliness and social isolation and, by supporting organisations like the ABD Centre, we can work towards building stronger and more connected communities.
