"A really good day with smiles on all faces."

About: Older People’s Services / Social Worker for older people

(as a service user),

Today was my forth trip. Three from Londonderry to Coleraine and one from Londonderry to Castlerock (Christmas)

Christmas was special with presents, food and entertainment, also the ukulele U3A Foyle entertained on the train (outwards and inwards). All four trips today we also had entertainment by the Causeway Shantymen at the 1st Coleraine Scout Troop. Tea and sandwiches were served. Many people were dancing and singing with the entertainers. A really good, feel good day, as were all four trips.

At the Waterside Railway Station we were entertained by the Lilliput Choir and the U3A Folk Group, was great to see smiles on all faces.

One small problem, the walk from the Coleraine Station to the Scout Hall was a little long, especially for people on sticks etc.

Also the Lilliput Choir could have started a little earlier, as when the train was boarding the choir were left sining to only a few people.

My name is Anne-Marie Bradley, Social Work Lead for GP based Social Work. Thank you so much for taking the time to provide our team with your invaluable feedback. I'm delighted to hear this was your fourth memorable trip. I have shared your comments with our team, U3A Folk Group, Causeway Shantymen and Lilliput Choir.

We are hoping to organise a few more trip in the New Year, and will most certainly take into further consideration walking distance of any planned events, and your suggestion of Lilliput starting earlier.

We will hopefully see you in 2025 for some more dancing and singing.

Take care and best wishes,

AnneMarie
