This continuing project has been offering a support service to pensioners since 1993 as well as carers in the community. The aim is to provide help to elderly people to allow them to continue to live in their own homes with dignity and independence using visiting and befriending services, as well as social events. They also ensure that house bound beneficiaries can maintain contact with friends and relatives as well as offering a ring around service, which checks they have no needs and are in good health.
