Janine Sayers, Chairperson of the NWAWT Steering Group, said: “It is great to see such a good attendance at this celebration event. The project has been very successful in its first year of delivery, the key of this success is the partnership collaboration model and the cross referral element between services. The achievements are a merit to all of those involved, the strategic partners, the delivery partners and the staff and volunteers. As chairperson of the steering group I would like to thank those associated to the project, and hope that from today, they can see the direct impact they are having on Older Peoples lives in our local area.”
