MUIR SCHEME TOASTS 25 YEARS OF SILVER SERVICE TO SUPPORTING PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
MUIR’S Rowlands Lodge scheme is celebrating 25 years of supporting people with disabilities.
The scheme in Chester has been enabling people to live independent lives since 1994, providing residents with their own home and personalised support plans.
Staff at Rowlands Lodge help residents fulfil their potential by accessing community services and enhancing life skills.
“The fact that Muir’s Rowlands Lodge scheme has been providing such a vital bedrock of support for people with physical and learning needs for 25 years demonstrates the Association’s deep commitment to communities,” Georgina Millington, the scheme’s Project Manager said.
“We’re thrilled to be celebrating such a significant milestone, as well as the development of all our residents throughout these years.”
The event was a double celebration for Rowlands Lodge resident and guest of honour, Christine Williams, who was herself celebrating 25 years of living at Rowlands Lodge.
And the day also saw the scheme celebrate the receipt of £4,500 in National Lottery funding, which will enable Rowlands Lodge to host a series of events; both for its residents and the wider community.
Staff and residents were joined by family members and friends for a very special garden party to mark the occasion.
As well as lovely food and company everyone enjoyed sharing memories and photographs from the scheme’s history as they toasted Rowlands Lodge’s past and looked towards its future too.
