HOME AT THE HEART UPDATE

Over the past couple of months, we have been busy supporting clients with a wide range of activities, including learning how to prepare meals using air fryers and slow cookers, arranging hospital appointments, setting up cleaning schedules, and providing equipment to help maintain their homes. We have also assisted with shopping, accessing community activities, managing debt, and liaising with other services to ensure tenants receive the most appropriate support to meet their individual needs.
Here are a few snapshots of some of our clients who were happy to step in front of the camera!

Interested in receiving support?
To access the Home at the Heart programme, you must be a Housing Executive tenant living in the Larne, Carrickfergus, or Ballymena areas.

Loneliness Awareness Week (15th–19th June)

To mark Loneliness Awareness Week, we hosted a foil embossing workshop here at AEL. A huge thank you to Mid & East Antrim Loneliness Network for funding this session and helping us provide a welcoming space where people could come together, connect, and enjoy a creative activity.
We never truly know what someone else may be going through, so take a moment to check in with those around you. A simple conversation can make a big difference.
