Rugby church invites the elderly and lonely round for lunch

Andy Morris 8th Oct, 2025   0

ELDERLY and lonely people in Rugby are invited to take lunch at a church near the town centre.

Rugby United Reformed Church in Hillmorton Road is offering two course lunches every Friday.

The lunches, which are open to anyone, cost just £6 – and the church also offers £1 takeaway boxes of leftovers.

Simon Burne, one of the volunteer organisers, said: “The Community Lunch has been going for over 20 years and is very popular.




“We have space to welcome more people. Why not come along and give it a try? It’s fun, friendly, warm and welcoming – as well as offering delicious food, tea and coffee.”

Call June on 01788 335395 for more information, or visit the church from 11.45am on Fridays for a hot drink or a meal.
