Warrington VIP, a longstanding charity supporting older residents, has received a £555 donation from the Miller Homes Community Fund to sustain its twice-weekly lunch club. The club serves freshly prepared, three-course meals to members aged between 60 and 100, offering a vital opportunity for social connection and nutritious dining.
Supporting Seniors Through Rising Costs
The donation arrives at a critical time as rising grocery prices strain charitable operations. Warrington VIP has been active for over a century, providing practical, social, and wellbeing services that help older adults remain independent and engaged. The lunch club is a cornerstone of this mission, fostering companionship alongside a hot meal.
Clare Horbury, sales director at Miller Homes North West, said: "Community organisations like Warrington VIP play a vital role in supporting older people across Warrington, creating opportunities for people to come together, stay connected and enjoy meaningful social interaction. We're delighted to support the lunch club through our community fund and hope this contribution helps the charity continue providing such an important service for its members."
Gratitude and Impact
Vicky James, Deputy CEO at Warrington VIP, expressed gratitude: "We are incredibly grateful to Miller Homes for this donation. Rising food costs continue to place pressure on charities like ours, but thanks to support like this, we can continue providing freshly cooked meals and welcoming spaces where our members can enjoy companionship, friendship and vital social support."
The funding is part of the Miller Homes Community Fund, which since 2022 has awarded over £40,000 to charities, schools, grassroots sports clubs, and community organisations across the North West. The initiative aims to generate lasting benefits in areas surrounding Miller Homes developments.
Community Investment in Warrington
Miller Homes is currently developing Aspen Row in Great Sankey, Warrington, offering one to four-bedroom homes. The sales cabin is open Thursday to Monday from 10.30am to 5.30pm. This donation underscores the company's commitment to investing in local communities.
