Eileen Lockwood, 96, has been attending two weekly older people clubs run by Age UK York for the past two years.
But, as The Press reported, on Thursday (August 29) the charity announced that nine of its day club groups will close from September 30, following the end of its current contract with City of York Council, which commenced in 2017 and brings funding for it.
The charity said staff at the service were letting members know about other clubs and activities local to them.
Ms Lockwood’s nieces, Geraldine Williams and Angela Newdick, told The Press she found out two weeks before the announcement was made publicly.
