Age Concern and the Manx Legion will be looking to support those struggling with the cold this winter during warming lunches.

The two organisations are hosting two sessions – on Thursday October 13 and Monday, October 31 – with tea, coffee, soup and sandwiches on offer.

Alongside serving food, the lunches are also being advertised as a place for ‘free wifi, a warm and friendly environment and an opportunity to meet new and old friends. Stay the afternoon, play a few games, read a book, stay warm’.

The Manx Legion Club is on Market Hill in Douglas, next to the bus station, and people are welcome to arrive from 11am.
