Homes for the Aged Auxiliary
raises funds for televisions
29 March 2010
Each year the Homes for the Aged Auxiliary continue with their remarkable fundraising efforts. Although it is a group small in numbers their enthusiasm and tireless fundraising efforts are exceptional. Recently two flat-screen televisions were purchased for both wings of Wannon Hostel (Mackie and Wannon) as a result of funds raised by the Auxiliary.

The Manager/Director of Nursing – Mr Tim Pitt-Lancaster said that “residents at the Hostel, staff and visitors have benefited both functionally and aesthetically from the many items that have been purchased through the continual efforts of the Auxiliary. Funds raised go toward the acquisition of equipment and furnishings which we would not be able to otherwise acquire We are indeed fortunate to have such a wonderful group of ladies who work so tirelessly for the support of our Hostel – we are eternally grateful and appreciative of their continued hard work and commitment”.
Mr Pitt-Lancaster said that “the residents are enjoying viewing their shows on the new televisions which are much clearer for them to watch”
Mr Pitt-Lancaster added that “the Homes for the Aged Auxiliary is a very small group of dedicated ladies who work tirelessly to provide items for the Hostels and if there was anyone that had some spare time and was interested in assisting the Auxiliary to please contact the Coleraine District Health Service Admin Office on
5553 2000 for information. The Homes for the Aged Auxiliary would welcome any new members with open arms.”
