Friends of Albrighton Activity Group

The Melville Club has been really well supported throughout 2022, with lunches, Jubilee celebrations and days out proving to be a hit.

Throughout the winter months, we’re acutely aware that Albrighton residents will continue to need somewhere warm and inviting to maintain a healthy social life. As a result, we’ve teamed up with Siobhan from Home Instead who will be hosting ‘Friends of Albrighton’ every other Friday afternoon, starting Friday 4th November 2022.

Who are Home Instead?

Home Instead have been at the forefront of specialised home care for the elderly and supporting those being cared for and their families for many years. Founded on personal experience, these family values remain at the core of everything we do 24 years on.

Home Instead are focussed on working with local organisations to provide quality activities to older people in the Shropshire community.

Siobhan has been a familiar face at the Melville Club for a number of months, and will be hosting the Friends of Albrighton activity group for the forseeable.
