Family Support Clacton - a community lifeline

Family Support Clacton is a local voluntary organisation that helps housebound and socially isolated older people to meet up and socialise. Their services are wide ranging and include Alzheimer's and dementia days, short term memory groups, healthcare and hygiene services as well as entertainment and social gatherings. To their members they are a lifeline to the community.

We awarded £ 1,000 towards events and entertainment which contributed towards a Neil Diamond gala dinner for members. The evening was a roaring success with Valerie Reiser, Fundraising & Project Manager, noting:

"It was a brilliant success with some of our elderly clients getting onto the dance floor after the meal. They have all asked for a repeat event! Thanks to all of you for your support - we couldn't have put this event on without you."
