John Lewis food experts meet regulars at Holly Lodge Community Centre
It’s a feast of diet help at centre
HOLLY Lodge Community Centre treated visitors to an afternoon of healthy eating on Thursday when a team of food advisers from department store John Lewis made a special visit.
The event was organised to provide a healthy start to the new year for the elderly residents of Highgate who use the community centre to meet friends and keep active.
June Rose, chairwoman of the Holly Lodge management committee, said: “We have put on events with John Lewis before, they’re a very charitable organisation. There was a good turnout, everyone enjoyed themselves and had lots of tasty food and drink. We had dessert wines, cheese, and exotic fruits and fresh juices, it really was a treat.”
Jemima Ogg, 92, a Holly Lodge estate resident said: “There were so many varieties of unusual food and lots of people to talk to. It was a very nice day. I’m looking forward to the next event.”
