We have been very fortunate to receive ongoing support and valuable input from the MDT Social Work team across a number of areas. Their collaboration has been instrumental in helping us identify needs within local communities and develop our service accordingly. Building on this strong partnership, we are now delighted to be progressing plans to extend our Good Morning Service into the Banbridge area. This expansion will be delivered in collaboration with the team at Banbridge Group Surgery, whose involvement will further strengthen the local support network available to older people.
As part of this development, we recently hosted a meeting with a number of interested volunteers. The response was very encouraging, and we are excited to move forward with establishing a dedicated Banbridge Hub. We are hopeful that this hub will be based in the meeting rooms at St Patrick’s on Dromore Street, providing a welcoming and accessible space from which volunteers can coordinate calls and connect with service users.
We are always eager to welcome new volunteers and community groups who would like to get involved in making a positive difference. Volunteering with the Good Morning Service is a rewarding way to support older people in your local area, whether by making regular calls, helping with outreach, or assisting with the ongoing development of the service.
If you are interested in volunteering, or if you are part of a group that would like to participate or learn more, we would love to hear from you. Please contact us on 028 3026 1022 or email info@ccgnewr.org for further information.
