Help Crawley Posh Club win a share of £3 million Lottery cash

They have been shortlisted as part of this year’s The People’s Projects – a partnership between The National Lottery Community Fund and ITV - which gives people a say in where National Lottery money should go in their area.

All five will have the opportunity to showcase their work on primetime TV.

The Posh Club in Crawley is bidding for £50,000 to run weekly social and entertainment sessions for older people who are experiencing, or are at risk of, social isolation.

The event is styled as a ‘posh’ 1940s afternoon tea, with cabaret acts, waiters in black tie, vintage decorations and a pianist.

The project gives older people the chance to have fun, socialise and make new friends, all in glamorous surroundings.
