Manor Farm Community Association is absolutely ‘over the moon’ having received confirmation of a fantastic award of £227,912 from the National Lottery Community Fund to help fund and continue its “Silver Service” project for older people for the next two years until March 2026.
The project delivers a wide range of services, support, and activities for older people of the town aimed at reducing social isolation, improving physical and mental wellbeing, and helping people to live happier, healthier, and longer lives in their own homes. Now in its twelfth year of operation, the “Silver Service” is regarded as a “life saver” by many of its participants, is highly regarded by partner organisations and statutory services and indeed was instrumental in helping Manor Farm Community Association gain the coveted Queens Award for Voluntary Service back in June 2018.
“I cannot put into words what the Silver Service has done for me. it’s literally saved my life . The staff are wonderful and nothing is too much trouble. It’s given me a place to go for companionship and for comfort. I’m forever grateful to everyone.”
