Volunteer Liz Bates has been cooking for the Neville Parade Lunch Club on Tuesday’s during term time for 12 years. She is leaving Aycliffe so has prepared her last meal and the club has been unable to find a replacement. Up to 28 elderly people attend, most of whom would be eating at home alone.
“Even if we could find someone to do it once or twice a month it would be better than closing down altogether.” said Liz.
