Healthy Eating

Elaine Wilson from Sainsbury's visited the Good Companions Club this week to talk to the group about the importance of Healthy Eating. She brought along various food samples for the group to try. Each member also went home with a bunch of flowers, courtesy of Sainsbury's, which they were thrilled with.

Dunstable Town Council recently received a grant of £1000 from Bedfordshire and Luton Community Foundation to purchase 100 Winter Survival Packs and to distribute them to vulnerable elderly residents of the Town and surrounding area.
