A community group in Belfast are launching a winter lunch club to help elderly people in the local area avoid isolation amid the cost of living crisis.
Ardmonagh Family and Community Group currently support 451 elderly service users throughout West Belfast who benefit from a daily telephone befriending service, with many having limited support networks or nobody to turn to.
Many of these service users have told the team at Ardmonagh they're worried about rising costs, with fears about not being able to access nutritional meals and struggling to heat their homes.
