Everyone is suddenly going on about the dangers of loneliness and the negative impact on health, but we at WCT have been doing fantastic work getting people out and about, and making new friends with volunteers and fellow passengers for over 30 years. Our regular outings and shopping shuttle really hit the spot in this regard, and over two thirds of our passengers say we have helped them make new friends and enjoy new activities.
BUT, we know we can always do more, and are starting a special lunch club so that isolated single people can go out together to a nice pub in the country and have lunch with new friends.
Our first expedition will be to the lovely Anchor pub next to the canal at Wisley – it is going to be great!
