A luncheon club received a donation of £250 from the Witham Rotary Club.

Volunteers serve home cooked lunches to retired members of the community on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at Witham Town Hall, most weeks between 11.30am and 1.15pm.

The cheque was presented by Rotarian Roy Pipe to cook Karen Dillane.

Mr Pipe said: “If there are pensioners out there who would like to get involved in the Luncheon Club they can give Karen a ring on 07842 249 397.”
