A SENIOR Citizens Club has received a £516 donation to boost its life enhancement project.

The Hurworth Grange Senior Citizens club, which operates from the Hurworth Grange Community Centre, received the money from Four Seasons Health Care through the County Durham Community Foundation.

It will fund the club’s life enhancement project which aims to improve the quality of life and social interaction of older residents in Hurworth Place, Hurworth-on-tees and Neasham.

Nick White, rural development officer, said: “The County Durham Community Foundation has helped the club move forward with a full programme of varied activities and in particular, the provision of transport to enable the most elderly and frail to attend meetings and events with the additional support they need.”

The club meets once a month and boasts 46 members with ages ranging from 55-year-olds to members in their mid-90s.

The donor, Four Seasons Health Care, is an organisation which provides care homes throughout the UK.

They have a fund with County Durham Community Foundation which supports activities and outings for elderly people near Four Seasons Health Care Homes in County Durham and Darlington.
