Transport costs
We really want as many people to attend as possible; especially those that would not otherwise be able to. Although we only have a small funding pot we are happy to consider reasonable travel costs of older people on a first-come first-served basis. Please confirm with us before arranging. We would encourage the use of public transport or share cars/taxis as much as possible.
Surviving Christmas: Copies of the Adult Support and Protection Committee booklet, foldout and easy read are available. To request, please e-mail Shona Mcewan
