Di's Diamonds Launch
Published on 17 December 2019 09:35 AM
On 10th December 2019 we held a special launch event to announce the great news that Di's Diamonds, our inspiring service that helps older people to engage socially is now being expanded into Barking & Dagenham and Redbridge thanks to funding from the Big Lottery. The event was held at the beautiful Eastbury Manor House in Barking. Guests were treated to music from the 50s and 60s by Debbie Randall, whilst members enjoyed a dance, a talk about the history of Eastbury Manor from one of the Manor House guides and a presentation about Age UK services. This was followed by an informative talk about Di's Diamonds from Kim one of the Di's Diamonds coordinators and a wonderful summary of how the service has enriched their lives from two of the current members. It was a lovely afternoon and we look forward to identifying more social activities for older people.
