The get-together at Gillespie Crescent was in remembrance of their friend and fellow tenant Pat Skivington who recently passed away at the Hospice.

With Pat’s local roots and fun for life, she was a true inspiration to all that knew her. Pat along with a number of tenants was instrumental in organising social events at Gillespie especially for many who require significant support.

Viewpoint tenants and fellow organisers Maureen Scott and Colette Cruise said: “It was fitting that we raised the money by holding a cream tea as this is just the type of sociable event Pat enjoyed organising and taking part in.”

Local businesses also generously donated a large number of raffle prizes which the tenants are very grateful for.

Jean Gray, Viewpoint CEO, added: “This was such a lovely and thoughtful afternoon in memory of a special tenant whilst also raising funds for a great cause. The success of this event reflects the hard work, commitment and community spirit which is prevalent within Viewpoint complexes and it is important that we ensure these sort of fun events continue and wherever possible include all of our residents.”
