The Lunch Club@ Plantation Hall is a planned weekly day service for older people in Maldon held on Thursday 10am-2.30pm
A number of the guests will be transported to the Club in Heybridge by
Essex and Suffolk DART service.

- knocking on guests doors to inform them that the bus has arrived
- accompanying them to and from the bus
- offering a supportive arm on the walk to and from the bus if appropriate
- ensuring that all passenger seat belts are fastened
- storing walking aids safely during the journey
