The Agewell project is an extension of the Good Morning project primarily focusing on the elderly and vulnerable. These people at times feel isolated in their community and may be suffering from depression or mental illness.”

Agewell is primarily run by volunteers, who work from their Magherafelt base. They also offer a home visit service to those unable to attend their office.
