About our cause

Portobello Older People's Project (POPP) is a lunch and social club for lonely, isolated older people.  It offers them the chance to get out of their homes, share a meal and participate in social activities such as games, discussions, entertainments, and outings.  It runs twice a week, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from the Portobello Baptist Church Hall

POPP was set up over thirty years ago to reduce loneliness and isolation amongst older people.  The purpose is as relevant today as it was when POPP was founded, possibly more so as families are physically separated, often by long distances.  In addition, older people are amongst the groups which continue to suffer the lingering effects of the COVID pandemic, in terms of fear of social interaction and a lack of confidence.

POPP provides support  to families and carers, giving them time away from their caring responsibilities, in the knowledge their relatives are safe and enjoying themselves.

Other benefits of POPP’s work include its role in developing social capital through volunteer involvement and by promoting community cohesion.

We need your help!

Funds from the Community Lottery will help POPP achieve its goal of reducing loneliness and isolation in older people.

Thank you for your support and good luck!
