Welfare rights officer Rosemary McGowan said: “We are extremely excited about being able to offer this service again especially with the added aim of helping those who are isolated and lacking confidence to re-engage with their local community and allowing them to develop new skills or take up old ones, allowing them to gain a great sense of their worth.”
