A new initiative is kicking loneliness and isolation to the curb as it bids to integrate OAPs back into the community.
After officially launching on Monday, October 2, with romantic-comedy What’s Love Got to Do with It at the Knightswood Community Centre , Gordon Giles, development officer at KCC, said: “Some of the pensioners in the local community are really poor souls.“With the community cinema, we can get them out of the house and chatting with people, helping them to see old friends and even make new ones.
Gordon explained: “The cinema will take place during school hours , so the club is mainly for pensioners and carers.“Those with special needs can also come along for a film and enjoy a day out.”
