Its getting to the spooky time of year when our Senior Citizens can feel more isolated due to shorter days, darker evenings and long nights. 😢😢😢

Safer Blanchardstown and partners will once again host our Seniors Safety Lunch on Friday 25th October from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm in Corduff Resource Center. This is a Halloween 👀👀 themed event with a prize for the best costume. 💀🥸

AT this event Seniors will be provided with some very useful and relevant personal and home safety advice from our Garda Crime 👮‍♀️🕵️‍♂️Prevention Officer and from Dublin Fire brigade. 🚘🧑‍✈️

Beginning with a light lunch consisting of of a bowl of warm soup, a wide range of succulent sandwiches washed down with a lovey cup of tea or coffee and finished off with a big slice of fresh cream cake. 🥮👺👹👻💩

All this while being entertained from the wide repertoire of Ronnie and the Pacemakers. And........ we have not stopped there....... we have retained the services of the great Birdie O'Neill to be our caller out for out games of BINGO with some smashing prizes..so don't forget to check.
All seniors from across Dublin 15 are invited to this FREE event.

Please feel free to share this post or bring it to the attention of anyone you think may like to attend...all are very welcome. 🎃👽🥮
