These events will be open to all members of the community, but specifically aimed at those who may be having to limit heating and cooking in their own homes due to costs or are feeling isolated and lonely. This will provide an opportunity for residents to socialise in a warm space, chat and catch up with others and hopefully develop friendships and a support network that will expand during, and outside the sessions. ·         To grant the award ·         Not to grant the award ·         To award a different amount
