Afternoon Tea from the comfort of your own home
As this year’s theme is “Keep yourself connected with the world from
your home” we are en-deavouring to include as many of our active
age citizens as possible, in particular those with no access to the
World Wide Web. To achieve this we are calling for your nominations
for those members to receive an afternoon tea from the comfort of
their own homes and join in our 2021 Bealtaine Festival celebrations
The nominations could include those:
• who have been isolated over the past year,
• who you feel have went above and beyond to help others
during this difficult period,
• from your active retired group who usually attend events in
person but can’t take part this year as they are not online.
We have limited resources but will try to include as many
nominations as possible.
Send your nominations to socialinclusionunit@sdublincoco.ie –
Name, Number of people in the house (max 2), Address, Eircode,
Phone Number & Email address if available?
Please be advised that a photographer may attend the delivery.
