We are very pleased to have been able to make a funding contribution to Milan Senior Welfare Organisation, who recently won the best charity project of the year award at the Scottish Asian Business Awards.
Our funding was spent on providing transport to and from Milan’s day care provision for older people. Providing transport enables the older people to remain independent and access the amenities delivered by this charity, such as hot meals, activities and informative workshops.
Many older people are too frail and vulnerable to use taxis and are unable to afford high taxi costs. Having transport enabled these older people to remain connected with others in their local community.
Transport has been a lifeline for South Asian older people all over Edinburgh and helped them to stay active, which in turn reduces isolation and promotes good physical and mental health.
We are delighted to have been able to assist this charity in helping older people in the Edinburgh area.
