Pass the salt and vinegar please! In a recent session for our members from the MaeCare - Moor Allerton Everyone Cares Club in Leeds, members gathered together to enjoy a good, old British classic for their lunch – fish and chips. Not a bad way to enjoy each other’s company. #LonelinessAwarenessWeek
