Celebrating 40 years of Thursday Club in Bramhall

That this House congratulates the Thursday Club in Bramhall, in the Cheadle constituency, on reaching its 40th anniversary; notes that the Club was established by Churches Together in Bramhall with the aim of supporting housebound and older people in the local community; recognises the invaluable role it has played over four decades in tackling loneliness, promoting companionship, and creating a warm and welcoming space where members can share activities, enjoy entertainment, and sit down together each week for a hot meal, tea and cake; pays tribute to the many volunteers who have generously and selflessly given their time to keep the Club running, including during times when funding ended and the group relied entirely on local goodwill and commitment; gives special thanks to Carol Sargent for her extraordinary 35 years of dedicated service, leadership, and friendship to the members; celebrates the contribution of all those who attend, who through their friendship and spirit make the Club such a unique and uplifting part of Bramhall’s community life; and sends its best wishes to the Thursday Club for many more years of success in bringing joy, comfort, and connection to local residents.
