Tolleshunt Autumn Leaves Club

Tolleshunt Autumn Leaves Club was set up in 1969 and is a social club for elderly people, which aims to combat loneliness and isolation, and provide friendship for those that live alone.

During recent years, the group of over 60 members have enjoyed outings to London shows, RHS gardens, seaside towns, and meals out, as well as visits from entertainers and speakers.

Our grant has supported their running costs, to enable members to continue to meet with friends, enjoy some time outside of their home and explore their interests with others. They also make sure to commemorate each other’s birthdays with a card and celebration, so no one is left with a birthday going unmarked.
