Good Morning Down hosts interactive client initiative

4 December 2024

OVER 75 clients of Good Morning Down attended an interactive client day at the Burrendale Hotel in Newcastle recently.

Good Morning Down is a free local telephone befriending charity for people who feel isolated, alone or vulnerable in the community.

Guests at the event enjoyed chats with a variety of local service providers, who offered advice and guidance on a variety of issues including the need to regularly test smoke detectors, awareness around scams and the importance of remaining active.

Following lunch everyone enjoyed a short quiz and a couple of games of bingo, with the day ending with a prize raffle.

Good Morning Down wishes to thank Eamon McGrady and the Artisan Market for sponsoring the two hampers, and the National Lottery, Housing Executive and South Eastern Trust for their continued financial support of the charity.

Good Morning Down manager Dan McEvoy said: “It was great to see so many of our wonderful clients come together for a fun-filled, relaxing day which has promoted social inclusion as well as helped to establish new friendships amongst the group.”
