        both men and women each week. Together  a great opportunity for our homeowners
        we all organise the activities so they are on   to enjoy a special meal and catch up. If
        multiple days a week and at different times,   we need anything like setting the table, or
        to make sure that everyone can come at       washing up, everyone is always more than
        some point.”                                 happy to put their hand up to help.”
