Lynn McCusker, manager at St Andrews Court, said: “The social activity programme was introduced in line with Bield’s “Free to Be” ethos, which supports older people to make their own decisions about how they live their lives, while also being there to support them when they need it.

“What makes our social activity programme special is it gives our tenants the opportunity to socialise in the development but also within the community.

“These types of projects are great as they give tenants the opportunity to attend social events such a coffee mornings and Christmas parties, it really helps enhance and enrich their lives.”

Bield requested that anyone interested in this position is available on a Wednesday between 10am and 12 noon to help out at a planned coffee morning and a minimum of six months commitment is required.
