Carrickfergus Older People’s Forum has been successful in securing funding to deliver this project in partnership with Big Lottery and Mid and East Antrim Agewell Partnership (MEAAP).

Beryl McKnight, chairperson of Carrickfergus Older People’s Forum, said: “We need the input of local older people to ensure that we are meeting their needs.”
