Dosti Luncheon clubs @ Multi-Racial Community Centre and Holywell Community Cente
Views expressed by members at the above two clubs.
Why we come to these clubs and what benefits we get??
- We get to know and meet new people is a wonderful experience
- It gives us a feeling of being in good general and mental health
- Many play cards, sing religious songs and do Garba dancing which provides enjoyment
We have been a member of Dosti for the past 10 years and we have benefited a lot from the club and enjoy attending it. We meet many people of our own age group there and so it expands our social network.
We feel that attending Dosti benefits us emotionally and physically as we are able to make friends and take part in many activities that are held there such as, yoga keep fit, daytrips, group holidays, religious functions. We enjoy these activities a lot and Dosti also enables us to utilise our skills in teaching dancing and organising programmes and seeing older people taking part in dances and other programmes increasing joy and enthusiasm for teaching. We would like to thank the trustee board, and the staff for supporting our ideas and helping us in the organisation of the activities.

Over the last 5 years I have been attending the club, since then my health has improved because of exercise and also made me mentally active. I have gained lots of information by attending the Dosti clubs and also the staffs at the club are very helpful and they make me feel as my second home. I have met a lot of my friends who I had not seen for years. When I go to India I miss the club so much that as soon as I come back I desire to attend the club.
