Eastcott Community Organisation
The Foundation offered £2,708 towards costs of Tea and Chat sessions in February 2014. These fortnightly social activities aim to reduce the loneliness and isolation of older people living in the Eastcott area of Swindon, and enable them to meet/make friends.
The grant has covered general costs of the sessions including some special events as well as refreshments, venue and travel costs. It has enabled the community, particularly older people, to get together on a regular basis and participate in activities.
