The Adiaha Antigha Community Achievement Award 2008

Special recognition for contribution to services for older people

 

Winner: Janice Wynter, and the team at Woodberry Down Age Concern Hackney

 

 

We received 15 nominations for Janice Wynter, and the team at Woodberry Down Age Concern Hackney from older people who use their service.

 

The project offers many services to older people on the Woodberry Down estate, including: coffee mornings with guest speakers, advice sessions, social trips out of Hackney on top of their everyday support and advice service.

 

Amongst the comments on the nominations forms received were: 'I love this club - I wouldn't miss it for the world. I feel that this club gives many people hope and a place to come and chat on what can be a very lonely estate'.
