Achievements and Perforniance. Here is a summary afthe past yearforthe Enagh Seniors, Group- We started the New Year having said goodbye to one of our members followed shortly by the departure of another loved and respected member after a good innings at 91 years old. Severdl members attended the funeral of both and sent wreaths ft)r their graves on behalf of our Group. Although the Covid pandemic had prevailed the previousyear. We commenced our usual meetings and activities With caution on the 1512123. in the welcoming, warm Strathfoyle Library. We. fortunately had the remainderof a grantfunded bythe DC&SDC that had to be Spent bythe 3113123. This included some Best Prattice visits to the Lough Neagh area. But due to the likelihood of bad weather especially on the Glenshane Pass we obtsined a variation of these from the Funder and instead opted for theatre visits that were well attended and enjoyed. Another timely application to the same funder for 2023-24 failed. So. we started the spring and summer with limited ambitions. however the Strathfoyle Communtty Association invtted us to participate in their annual bus trip to Donegal including a visit to Glenveagh National Park with a very13te lunch in Donegal Town. The early summer weather was quite pleasant. Through the year our main attivity apart from weekly meetings was the setting up of our Home Garden5 Tree Nursey Project wth some 6 participants. We are currently planning to have some 150 tree saplings planted in the catchment of our local riverto prevent soil erosion and reduce water temperatures with shade also providing habitsts for the biodiverstty of the river. This will be implemented by the River Faughan Anglers. Volunteers and the Loughs Agency, fitting with their Climate Change plans. The. tree propagation leaflet was Prepared. Printed and distributed and has been adopted up by a neighbouring distritt Heritsge Conservation Projett and a nearby prison. We held the AGM in June and a new member was eletted to the Executtve Commtttee. We agreed to retain the services of a local Accountant to comply with the CC Nl regulations. Our Annual Liability Insurance was renewed on time. The Group took a month's break in August 23 and on return held a well-attended Mc Millan Coffee morning raising over E4CQ for this Charity. Again. our thanks to knbraries Nl for facilitating the everrt. That was attended by local councillor5, MLA'5 and other residents from Strathfoyle. During the year we participated in various artivities at the Lettershandoney Community Centre. enjoying their Hospitslity and "Craick" AEain our thanks to the people there. We also had cookery and handicraft classes provided by Alley Foyle throughout the year. including Air Frying. Several members enjoyed the SCAAnnual Christmas dinnerat a local establishment earty December 23. We recommenced our arttvities on the 911123 with the usual round of enjoyable shared activtties to get ourselves out and about from a wet winter's isolation. In September an application was made to the Big Lottery Fund with assistance from the DC&SDC Community Services Department. Which at the time of preparing this Report was successful? We can therefore prepare for a full range of activitie5 in 2024-2025. Again. many thanks to the various local organisations who came along and provided knowledge on the latest developments in their area of responsibility including Alley Foyle. the Librarie5 Board, the local Safetywardens including the PSNI. Members ofthe Group participated in the meetings of the Strathfoyle and Maydown Community Safety Forum and the DEARA stakeholder meetings con¢eming the remediation ofthe Mobuoy Dump. Last but not least a bigthanks to the Lettershandoney Community who welcomed us for music and movement sessions on a Thursday morning With lunch and some Bingo afterwards. Our members are a Itvely bunch who enjoy all sorts of acttvities and are always game to try new ventures {such as kayaking) or generate ideas."WE IAUGH.
