Hendersons, in collaboration with charity V for Life, is excited to announce a special lunch club event tailored for older vegans and vegetarians. This unique gathering is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a delicious vegan meal while socialising and making new friends with like-minded individuals.
Event Highlights:
• Delicious Vegan Food: Enjoy a sumptuous vegan meal for just £10.
Lunch Options Include:
Freshly made soup with a crisp, vibrant salad
Hearty soup paired with a delicious, handcrafted sandwich
Tasty sandwich served alongside a refreshing, garden-fresh salad
Creamy, indulgent vegan Mac 'n' Cheese - comfort food at its finest
• Socialise: Meet other older vegans and vegetarians in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
Healthy Eating: Indulge in nutritious and health-conscious vegan cuisine.
Kim Stringer, V for Life's Director (Scotland), commented:
"We know that loneliness can often affect older adults, however events like this lunch club help foster meaningful connections over a shared passion for good, healthy food. Our aim is to create a space where individuals can enjoy a sense of belonging, alongside wholesome meals designed with their nutritional needs in mind. It's not just about the food - it's about building a supportive community of like-minded people."
Barrie Henderson Hendersons Director says;
"We value the work that VfL does and look forward to welcome new faces at our new joint lunch club. Sharing lunch and making new friends is vital and especially in cities like Edinburgh - older people can feel isolated and lonely."
Don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity to connect with the vegan and vegetarian community. We look forward to welcoming you to this special event!
