Project of the year 2020 for our Boredom Buster Boxes – Liberty Community Connect organised a variety of services to support elderly clients isolating at home. Liberty also brought social support to our clients by way of the Boredom Buster Boxes filled with good cheer and things to do. Boxes included (books, DVD’s, magazines, puzzles, art therapy, recipes, crafts, games and exercise programs) staff have been going out and visiting clients who would like a social visit in their homes. What a difference this has made for many of our older folk. Lifting spirits of clients, improving gardens, planting creating lovely areas to sit, have a cuppa and read a book.
