Belfast Active Senior Support (BASS)
Belfast Community Network - May 31, 2023
Weekly Shopping
We offer a service for essential shopping for elderly from the Belfast area. We pick up from home at 9.30am and take people to shop for essential items like groceries or chemist supplies. We sometimes stope for a cuppa and then drop off back home by 12.30pm. Bookings are essential, and a donation of $5 is appreciated to cover costs.
Kai on Sheldon
Every Thursday during the school term from 11am in our hall, our staff and lovely volunteers cook a meal for our community. The hot meals are different every week and use a variety of fresh healthy food. We have updated our prices for 2024:
$3 per person or $5 per couple for a one course meal
Our special occasion meals such as Matariki, the last meal each term and Christmas will be:
$5 per person or $8 per couple for a two course meal
This gathering is open for anyone to attend and occasionally there are also afternoon activities including crafts, games or a speaker.
